Outside the terminal building, landside, open-air smoking is also permitted under Turkey’s law; the terminal interior itself is smoke-free. Erkilet Airport serves Kayseri, with a separate international terminal that opened in 2007 alongside the older domestic building, and handles around 2.8 million passengers a year. ## Domestic Terminal — After Security A traveller described in March 2024 a compact open-air terrace **between Gates 205 and 206** in the domestic departure concourse, past the security checkpoint. The airport does not list it. ## International Terminal The airport lists no smoking area after security in the international terminal. If you are flying internationally, plan to smoke landside before the security checkpoint, or ask ground staff whether an airside option is available on the day. ## Landside (Before Security) Outside the terminal building, landside, Turkey’s ban on smoking in enclosed spaces does not apply, so open-air smoking is permitted; no designated landside smoking facility is published for Kayseri Erkilet Airport. ## Vaping Turkey’s Law No. 4207 treats e-cigarettes the same as tobacco, so vaping at Kayseri Erkilet Airport is confined to the same spots as cigarettes — the domestic terrace between Gates 205 and 206 after security, or the open air landside. Vaping is not permitted inside the terminal. ## Summary | Area | Smoking | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | | Indoor terminal | No | Smoke-free interior throughout | | Domestic — after security | Yes | Open-air terrace between Gates 205 and 206, described by a traveller (Mar 2024\) | | International — after security | Not listed | The airport lists no smoking area after security in this terminal | | Landside (before security) | Yes | Open-air smoking permitted outside the building; no designated facility published | | Vaping | Yes | Same spots as cigarettes; not permitted indoors | If you are connecting on to a flight from [Ankara Esenboğa Airport](https://www.airportsmokingzones.com/turkey/esb-smoking-at-ankara-airport/), its domestic-side terrace works the same way — outdoors, after security.
