Şırnak Şerafettin Elçi Airport
2 transport options
Şırnak Şerafettin Elçi Airport (NKT) sits in the far south-east of Turkey, about 10 km from Cizre and 60 km from Şırnak city centre, so it mainly serves Cizre, Silopi and İdil rather than distant Şırnak. Getting into Cizre is a short trip: a taxi is around 680 TRY on the 2026 meter (80 TRY opening, 60 TRY per km, 200 TRY minimum), and shared minibus/transfer services (Cizre Nuh Tur) also run to Cizre, Silopi and Şırnak. A distinctive feature of this airport is cross-border transport: Cizre Nur Tur operates transfers on to northern Iraq — Duhok, Erbil, Kirkuk and Süleymaniye — via Cizre. The open car park is on the 2026 DHMİ Group B tariff at 180 TRY per day, with the first 15 minutes free. For service times see sirnak.bel.tr or contact the operators directly.
