Our President Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdogan's instructions with airway investments in the revolution in 2003 began, in Malatya in Turkey as it is all very important developments in this area brought along. Aircraft traffic, which was 2003 in 1096, increased by 2019 percent in 392 to 5. The number of passengers, which was 389 thousand, approached 89 thousand. We increased the capacity of the terminal building with its current capacity of 750 thousand passengers.

In other words, we are building a modern airport in Malatya, which is full of four, without any deficiencies. With its new terminal building and other complementary facilities, Malatya will assume a much more important position in air transport and traffic. The increase in the number of domestic and foreign visitors to Malatya will contribute to the development of tourism in the region. Trade activities will be more active. Malatya strengthens the transport and communication infrastructure, we are also preparing the future of Malatya, as well as all of Turkey. As the representatives of a tradition that sees service to the public as a service to the right, we will build the beautiful days we dream of for our country and Malatya together by working non-stop.
