Ercan Airport is the only active airport in Northern Cyprus (TRNC). The airport usually hosts the flights from Turkey and the UK. The airport also has a modern look because the airport building, which consists of incoming and departing passenger terminals, has been renewed. As a typical island airport, it is not such a big airport. In both terminals, you can find restaurants, the cafés including Gloria Jean’s Café and the stores selling souvenirs. There are also duty-free shopping stores in the departing passenger terminal. Unifree Lacomel Duty Free, Merit Elite Duty Free, Net Voyager Duty Free, Kaner Duty Free and Cipro Duty Free are all among these stores. You can access these stores once you go through passport and police control. The airport offers the ATM machines of many banks as well as airline ticket sales offices and the offices of car rental companies.
There are two car parks as the paid car park and rental car park at Ercan Airport. There are no special service areas like “Lounges” apart from the waiting rooms at the airport. There is one lounge reserved for government officials or their official guests only. Internet access at the airport is free of charge, but it might be relatively slow. Gloria Jean’s Café also offers internet access.
Gomel Airport is only 10 kilometres away to the city centre and the flights here are generally carried out at regional-scale. This airport is not quite advanced in terms of opportunities offered to the passengers. It provides only basic services such as waiting lounge and ATMs. When you need to get to the city centre from Gomel Airport, you can choose either minibus or taxi. Also, do not forget that you can also have an option of rental car to arrive the city centre, if you have made a reservation at a local rent-a-car firm in advance. Gomel is generally preferred for short trips for the weekend, and it takes around 15 to 20 minutes to get to the city centre from Gomel Airport.
Passengers landing at Gomel Airport can get on the shuttles that could take them to the city center right after they exit the terminal building. The shuttles of Gomel Airport is both practical and budget-friendly for the visitors of Gomel. However, when you prefer using these shuttles, you do not get the chance to get off wherever you want in the city centre. First, you should get off at the stop in city centre and then proceed further by choosing other options such as bus or taxi to reach your destination.
It is rather difficult to find a taxi at Gomel Airport at the hours during which there are no frequent flights. Yet, if there is no taxi in front of the terminal building of the airport, you can ask for one at the information desk. Before you get on the taxi, you can ask the driver how much it will cost more or less to get to your destination and accordingly, prefer a different option other than taxi to arrive your destination from Gomel Airport. In general, the prices of taxi and other means of transportation are not so high in the country. However, it would be better if you can call the taxi to check for the price first when you are still at the airport.
Gomel does not have as many options as big cities as regards renting a car. Therefore, if you intend to rent a car when you land at Gomel Airport, you should not forget that you can look for a rental car in a different region. If you need to have your car brought from a different place close to Gomel, please keep in mind that you might need to pay an extra fee in addition to the daily rental fee to the rent-a-car company.
