Izmir Cityscape
A breathtaking view of the Gulf of Izmir and the sprawling metropolitan area during the initial climb.
Anatolian Plateau
The rugged, sun-drenched landscapes of Central Anatolia offer a unique perspective on Turkey's heartland.
Pontic Mountains
The North Anatolian mountains appear as a wall of green, often draped in mist as you descend toward the coast.
Trabzon Coastal Strip
A detailed look at the city of Trabzon, which is tightly squeezed between the steep mountains and the sea.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes of the flight; the contrast between the high mountain peaks and the sea-level runway at Trabzon is one of the most scenic landings in Turkey.

Aegean Shoreline
Clear views of the jagged coastline and the blue waters of the Aegean Sea immediately following takeoff.
Western Forests
Dense green stretches of the Marmara and Western Black Sea transition zones visible mid-flight.
Black Sea Horizon
As the aircraft nears Trabzon, this side looks out over the endless blue horizon of the Black Sea.
Choose this side for late afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset reflecting off the Black Sea. It is also the better side for observing the curvature of the northern coastline near Sinop if the flight path tracks slightly more to the north.
