The feasibility study for the Rize-Artvin Airport, Turkey's second airport and the world's third to be constructed on reclaimed land, was signed on May 12, 2014, by the High Planning Council (YPK). The airport will be modeled after the Ordu-Giresun Airport which was built on an artificial island. The Rize-Artvin Airport will have two-and-a-half times more stone.
