Air ambulance Alanya: medical transfers from Alanya hospitals

Two airports: GZP and AYT

• Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport (GZP) is the closer one, roughly 40 km east of Alanya.
• Antalya Airport (AYT) is roughly 125–135 km west of Alanya along the D400 coastal road, usually about 1.5–2 hours by road depending on traffic.

Which airport is used is decided case by case: it depends on the type of flight (air ambulance or scheduled flight), the aircraft and operator, and which scheduled routes are available on the day. A shorter ground ambulance ride matters for some patients; for others, the wider choice of flights from AYT matters more.

Hospitals where patients are commonly treated

Tourists who fall ill or are injured in Alanya are usually treated in the town's public or private hospitals, for example:

• Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat Üniversitesi Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi (public training and research hospital);
• Başkent Üniversitesi Alanya Uygulama ve Araştırma Merkezi (university hospital);
• Özel Alanya Anadolu Hastanesi and Özel Alanya Yaşam Hastanesi (private hospitals).
