Şanlıurfa GAP Airport (IATA: GNY, ICAO: LTCS) is an airport in Gölgen, Şanlıurfa Province, Turkey. It is located about 34 km (21 mi) northeast of the city of Şanlıurfa, on the road to Diyarbakir (E 99), about 20 km (12 mi) southwest of Hilvan.
The airport is part of the South East Anatolia project (Turkish: Güney Dogu Anadolu Projesi, known as "GAP"), a regional development project in the area of the Atatürk Dam. The new airport is known as the "GAP airport" because it is designed to service the workers in the GAP project as well as the city of Şanlıurfa. Opened in 2007, it replaced the old Şanlıurfa Airport (IATA: SFQ, ICAO: LTCH), which was located 9 km (5.6 mi) south of the city.
