Diyarbakır to Elazığ Airport Transfer: route notes and planning
The Diyarbakır to Elazığ Airport Transfer is a private, door-to-door ride between Diyarbakır and your address in Elazığ Airport. See Diyarbakır city centre transfer for every route from this branch.
Which road leads to Elazığ Airport?
The road heads north-west from Diyarbakır towards Ergani. After Ergani it enters the deep valley at Maden and climbs alongside a tributary of the Tigris, then passes the shore of Lake Hazar in Sivrice district, a mountain-ringed lake close to the headwaters of the Tigris and a pleasant place for a short summer break.
Elazığ Airport (EZS) lies south-east of the city on the Diyarbakır side, about 12 km from the centre, so the car reaches the terminal without driving into Elazığ. We drop you at departures and unload your bags at the door. The winding Maden section can be icy in winter, so early departures leave a little sooner.
When is a Diyarbakır to Elazığ Airport transfer the better choice?
The most common reason is that Diyarbakır flights are full on your date, or that an Elazığ departure time suits you better. Sometimes an airline moves passengers to Elazığ after cancelling a Diyarbakır flight; once you have the new ticket, just send us the flight time.
For people living in, or visiting family in, Diyarbakır's north-western districts such as Ergani, Çermik, Çüngüş and Maden, Elazığ can be the closer option, and the car can collect you from your home there. Airlines and days vary by season, so check the timetable first and allow for connection times.
How can you use spare time in Elazığ before a flight?
With a few hours to spare, a short visit to Harput, the old hilltop settlement north of the city known for its castle and historic mosques, fits in easily. The driver takes you there, waits, and drops you at the airport in time for your flight. If you would rather have a meal in town, the airport sits on the Diyarbakır side, so the run back to the terminal is short.
The route works in reverse too. If you fly into Elazığ and want to go on to Diyarbakır, the driver waits at the EZS arrivals exit with a name sign. Your flight is tracked, so there is no extra charge if it is late, and the car brings you via Lake Hazar and Maden to your address in Diyarbakır or to towns on the way such as Ergani. Families with lots of luggage and student groups usually take a Vito or Sprinter.
How far is Elazığ Airport?
About 150 km, usually 2 h 20 min and up to 2 h 50 min at busy times. The route heads north-west via Ergani onto the Elazığ road, then winds through the Maden hills — scenic, with bends that need care.
