ESHOT city buses
İzmir Airport Night Bus: ESHOT Lines 200, 202, 204 and 206
The İzmir Airport night bus network is run by ESHOT: four city bus lines — 200, 202, 204 and 206 — serve İzmir Adnan Menderes Airport, but according to ESHOT’s timetable they run only at night, roughly between midnight and early morning, when the İZBAN train is not running. During the day, use İZBAN or the HAVAŞ airport bus instead.
ESHOT airport lines are night-only. There is no daytime ESHOT bus straight to the terminals; by day take the İZBAN train or a HAVAŞ bus.

Where to catch the bus
The buses leave from the arrivals-level exits of both terminals; ESHOT names the airport stops “Havalimanı İç Hatlar Geliş” (Domestic Arrivals) and “Havalimanı Dış Hatlar Geliş” (International Arrivals). TAV describes these as round-the-clock lines that give İzmir residents public transport after midnight — in practice they cover the night, while İZBAN and HAVAŞ carry passengers by day.
Paying: the İzmirim Kart
On ESHOT buses you pay with an İzmirim Kart, the city transport card that also works on İZBAN, the metro, trams and ferries. At the airport the card is sold and topped up at the İZBAN ticket office and at some kiosks — but these may be closed late at night, so if you know you will land after midnight, ask a friend in İzmir to lend you a card or plan a taxi or transfer instead.
