Van Ferit Melen Airport Shuttle Schedule & Ticket Prices
Van Ferit Melen Airport sits about 7 km from the city centre, and there is no Havaş service here. The only scheduled public link is Van Metropolitan Municipality bus line 351, which runs between the terminal and the centre (İpekyolu) for 33 TRY, paid with a Van Kart, in roughly 25 minutes. Departures are arranged around flight arrivals rather than a rigid clock: typical times from the airport are 08:45, 10:45, 14:00 and 16:30, with returns from the centre at 10:00, 13:00, 15:30 and 18:30, so confirm before you travel. If your flight lands outside these windows, a taxi from outside arrivals is the practical alternative, reaching the centre in 15–20 minutes for about 400 TRY. From Van you can continue to Gevaş for the Akdamar Island ferry, Erciş on the northern shore of Lake Van, or the ski areas nearby.
