Samsun Çarşamba Airport was established in 1998 and it began to serve for passenger flights in 1999.

Minibus is another option you can take if you don’t have too much luggage. You should arrive at Diyarbakır Kapı, which is the entrance gate of Old Mardin that is also known as Yenişehir part of Mardin, by taking a minibus on Kızıltepe-Mardin highway after walking about 100 meters from the airport.
