Tuzla Air Base serves Tuzla, Istanbul, TR.
Limited public information is available regarding a facility named "Tuzla Air Base (TR-0005)" in Tuzla, Istanbul, Turkey.
However, there is a Tuzla Air Base (IATA: TZL, ICAO: LQTZ) located in Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina. This facility was once the largest military airport of the former Yugoslavia and became a civilian airport and military airfield in 1998. It served as the main hub for the Implementation Force (IFOR) in 1996. The airport has a single asphalt runway measuring 2,485 meters (8,152 feet). As of 2003, it was the busiest airport in Bosnia, supporting both NATO and EUFOR operations with a team of Airmen and contractors.
There is also a military air base in İzmir, Turkey, with the ICAO code LTBL, which is sometimes referred to as İzmir/Çiğli. This facility is primarily for military operations and training flights.
It is possible that "TR-0005" refers to a different, smaller, or private facility in Turkey for which public information is not readily available, or there may be confusion with the more prominent Tuzla Air Base in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
