The airport was depicted in a Turkish Airlines advertisement, where a group of kids trying to ask the Turkish Airlines aircraft to land at their town (and their own made airport), and little to their knowledge that a real airport was constructed.[5]
The airport was depicted also in Turkish Airlines commercial series of "Delightful Stories", where András Földvári, then head of marketing in Turkish Airlines' Hungary Office, flew from Budapest to Iğdır to explore Noah's Ark.[6][7]
