Sivas Nuri Demirağ Airport was first built in 1957 for military purposes. The port was opened to civil air traffic in 1990 with the 2217 m² Terminal building constructed by the General Directorate of State Airports Authority (DHMI).
The airport is located on the Merakum hill, 22 km to the northwest of Sivas. The airport is named after Mühürzâde Mehmed Nuri Bey, the most prominent Turkish businessman who in 1923 realised many important projects in the young Turkish Republic, including the first aircraft factory. The port is operated by the state-owned DHMI.

In this way, international flights have become possible from the airport, which did not have international standards before. The airport has a terminal with an annual capacity of 620,000 passengers, an asphalt runway with an instrument landing system (ILS) and a control tower.
