Turkish Army Aviation Command 1st Air Regiment moved to Isparta

In August 2020, the first Air Regiment (1nci Hava Alay) moved from Ankara/Güvercinlik to Isparta/Süleyman Demirel, 320 km to the south-west of Ankara.

This move marks a very significant event since Ankara/Güvercinlik is the first airfield to gain an ICAO code in Turkey (LTAB) and it housed the main army aviation units since 1958.

On 1 August 2018, the aircraft of the Turkish Army Aviation School moved to Isparta but now the Regimental role has also been moved out of Güvercinlik. Remaining behind are the Army Aviation Headquarters, the Hava Ulastirma Grup Komutanlığı (Air Transport Group Command) operating the Beech B200 and the 3ncu Bölük operating the CH-47D Chinook helicopters.

It seems that the other units have all moved to Isparta.
