Havamaş transport services at Çukurova International Airport

Overview

Havamaş, a transport provider for Çukurova International Airport, initially expanded its summer services to manage a surge in passenger traffic. To accommodate travelers, the company deployed a new fleet of 2026-model vehicles and added regular connections to several locations, including Adana, Mersin, Hatay, and Osmaniye.

During this expansion, company spokesperson Mustafa Polat warned passengers against using unlicensed “pirate” transport operators. Following this, General Manager Ahmet Kurt reported significant financial losses attributed to these illegal, unlicensed services. Kurt highlighted a major discrepancy between the 2,123,000 passengers transported by Havamaş and the 10,570,000 total passengers reported by the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure for the airport between August 2024 and August 2026. The company has called for increased inspections and stronger sanctions against unauthorized operators to protect the sector.
