It is located about 18.3 nautical miles (33.9 km; 21.1 mi) northeast of the city centre of Şanlıurfa.

The airport is part of the Southeastern Anatolia Project (Turkish: Güneydoğu Anadolu Projesi, known as "GAP"), a regional development project in the area of the Atatürk Dam.

Opened the 17 June 2007, it replaced the old Şanlıurfa Airport (IATA: SFQ, ICAO: LTCH), which was located 9 km (5.6 mi) south of the city.

[1] The airport facilities include cafes, car hire offices, and airline ticket offices, but almost all facilities, including even the taxi rank, are staffed only when flights are due.
