Border Post Helipad

The reason for its 'closed' designation in unofficial databases is unknown. As a military facility, its operational status is determined by the Turkish Armed Forces' tactical needs, not by civilian or economic factors. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to an accident, conversion, or any publicly disclosed reason.

The site is an active Turkish military border post. High-resolution satellite imagery confirms the presence of a fortified compound with watchtowers, support buildings, and a clearly marked, well-maintained helipad. It is part of Turkey's border security infrastructure and is strictly off-limits to all civilian access.

This is a modern military helipad located at a Turkish Armed Forces (Türk Silahlı Kuvvetleri) or Jandarma border post on the Turkey-Syria border in Hatay Province. Its significance is purely tactical. It was likely established or significantly upgraded after the start of the Syrian Civil War (post-2011) to enhance border security. Operations would have included surveillance flights, rapid deployment of personnel, medical evacuations (medevac), and logistical support for troops stationed along this volatile border section, likely utilizing helicopters such as the Sikorsky S-70 Black Hawk or Bell UH-1.

Not applicable. This is a military installation, not a public airport. The concept of 'reopening' for civilian or public use does not apply. Its use is exclusively determined by the operational requirements of the Turkish Ministry of National Defence.
