No, 45 minutes is probably not enough for a layover at AYT (Antalya).

Only barely workable for a same-terminal, same-zone connection with no queues, which is not reliable to count on.

AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Budget extra time in summer, when back-to-back charter arrivals and departures create long security lines especially at Terminal 1.
If your connection spans international and domestic terminals, factor in the shuttle bus schedule as well as walking time to the pickup point.
Keep boarding passes and passports accessible since you will clear security screening again after using the inter-terminal shuttle.
Confirm which terminal your onward flight departs from at check-in, as AYT's two international terminals are not interchangeable and mixing them up costs significant time.
SunExpress and Turkish carriers occasionally offer assisted transfer desks for same-day connections, so ask ground staff if you are running tight.

High risk
Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
Terminal 1, Terminal 2, and the Domestic Terminal are physically separate buildings linked by free shuttle buses that run every 10-15 minutes, with a walk of several minutes to reach the shuttle stop at each end. Because there is no airside connector, every terminal-to-terminal transfer means exiting through arrivals, boarding the shuttle, and going through full security screening again before reaching the next departure area. This landside routing is the main reason connection times at AYT run longer than at purpose-built hub airports.

We recommend at least 1½ hours for a comfortable connection at Antalya. This gives you enough buffer for security (typically 20 minutes) and transit between terminals (up to 30 minutes).

What happens if I miss my connection at AYT?

If you miss a connection, head to your operating airline's ticket desk in the terminal you land in, as most AYT traffic is charter or low-cost and rebooking options same-day can be limited outside peak season; SunExpress and Turkish Airlines counters can rebook onward domestic legs, but independently ticketed connections may require purchasing a new fare.
