What Is the Cappadocia Airport Code?
If you mean the airport officially named Nevşehir Kapadokya Airport, its IATA code is NAV and its ICAO code is LTAZ. It has served Nevşehir since 1998, and the first phase of its new terminal entered service in February 2026.
For trip planning, however, Cappadocia is served by two main airports: Nevşehir Kapadokya Airport (NAV) and Kayseri Airport (ASR). So the best answer to “which airport for Cappadocia?” depends on your flight schedule and hotel location.
Which Airport Is Closest to Cappadocia?
Nevşehir (NAV) is generally the closer road transfer for the central hotel areas. Under normal conditions, plan around 35–45 minutes from NAV to Göreme and 30–40 minutes to Uçhisar. Kayseri (ASR) is farther by road; Göreme is about 75 km away and normally takes around 60–75 minutes.
Kayseri can still be the better choice when its live flight schedule or fare is more convenient. Compare both airports for your exact travel date rather than choosing only by distance.
NAV vs ASR at a Glance
NAV: official Nevşehir Kapadokya Airport code, usually the shorter transfer to central Cappadocia. ASR: Kayseri Airport code, usually a longer road transfer but often useful when the flight schedule fits better.
Airport Transfer Options
Shared airport shuttle service is €15 per person between either airport and the covered hotel areas in Göreme, Ürgüp, Uçhisar, Avanos, Çavuşin and Ortahisar. Private Vito and Sprinter options are also available. Use the booking form with your flight number and hotel name, then wait for WhatsApp confirmation.
