Mürted Airfield Command (ICAO: LTAE) (Turkish: Mürted Hava Meydan Komutanlığı, formerly Mürted Air Base, Mürted Hava Üssü (until 1993), Akıncı Air Base, Akıncı Hava Üssü (1993-2016), was an air base of the Turkish Air Force located 35 km (22 mi) northwest of Ankara, Turkey. During the July 2016 coup d'état attempt the air base was used by pro-coup soldiers, and government forces bombed runway thresholds to prevent pro-coup forces from landing or taking off. Following the failed coup, Akıncı Air Base was redesignated with its former name, Mürted, and it was suggested the facility be converted to a memorial or a park.
