History
The initial airport was constructed in 1995. Tokat Airport was closed in 2001, re-opened in 2006, and closed again in 2008. Also in 2008, a nearby mosque minaret was shortened for posing a risk to flight safety. Operations continued in 2010 until April 2017, when all scheduled flights were stopped due to Borajet, the only carrier then serving the airport, ceasing operations. At a length of 1700 meters, the old runway was only long enough for smaller regional aircraft to land, which were only operated by Borajet in Turkey.
The construction of a new airport started next to the old one in 2018. Costing 1.2 billion Turkish lira, the airport features a 2,700 m (8,900 ft) runway, and the terminal building covers an area of 16,000 m2 (170,000 sq ft). The new airport has a capacity of seven aircraft, and is able to accommodate wide-body and cargo aircraft. The airport was re-opened on 25 March 2022.
On 25 March 2022, operations resumed from the re-built airport from after a five-year absence of passenger traffic.
