Hatay Airport (IATA: HTY, ICAO: LTDA) (Turkish: Hatay Havalimanı) is an international airport in Hatay Province, Turkey, serving the cities of Antakya (25 km (16 mi) by road) and Iskenderun (45 km (28 mi)). Built in what used to be the center of the now drained Lake Amik, it was inaugurated in December 2007.[2][3]

The airport's only runway suffered catastrophic damage during the earthquake in February 2023, which caused the airport to close for traffic.[4]
