TL;DR
Yes, all buses in Turkey — both city buses and tour operator transfers — are required to have air conditioning. Airport buses go directly to the city center and are very cheap.
Buses to central Bodrum do not leave from the international terminal itself: after exiting, walk left for a few minutes to the domestic terminal. The buses stop there opposite the yellow taxi rank.
Buses from Bodrum city center to the airport depart from the bus station 2 hours before the flight, with a stop at the new Torba bus terminal. The schedule is posted in the city center.
It's worth checking the bus route in advance: if one bus is faster than another, it likely makes fewer stops. Each stop involves leaving the highway, driving to the bus station, and waiting for passengers — which adds up significantly.
Air conditioning is standard on all buses in Turkey — both regular city buses and tour operator transfers. It's a requirement, not an optional feature.
Regular buses run directly from Bodrum airport to the city center. Travel time is comparable to a taxi or transfer, but the fare is very low.
