Konya

1Civil terminal

Konya's civil terminal opened in 2005. The entrance and exit road as well as the far corners of the parking lot in front of it, provide good views of the civil apron. Unfortunately, you have the pass a guarded gate to get access to the civil terminal, so make sure you have a reason to be there ready upon entering...

2Approach 19

A new road has been constructed along the northern fence of the base in recent years, providing an excuse to be there in the first place. From this road a few dirty side tracks can be taken, from where shots of aircraft on approach to both runway 19s can be obtained. Photography is possible for most of the day.

3Approach 01 - east side

Approach 01 is fairly open, but it will be hard to practice your hobby here without being noticed. A good option is the unfinished apartment building just south of the D300/D715 intersection. The building has reportedly been under construction for over ten years. Park your car at the restaurant next to it and try to get on to the premises. No elevators are installed so you have to climb your way up to the stairs. Make sure you are not spotted from the road whilst reading or photographing the aircraft on finals for runway 01. Photography is best in the morning.

4Approach 01 - west side

The west side of the southern approach can be reached as well. Heading west on road D300, take a right at Ebumusium Sk and turn right again at Ozden Cd. The area is very open but construction works might give you a reason to be here an do your thing. Photography is best in the late afternoon it seems.
