This is the world's largest new airport, with more runways than Heathrow.

Turkey has reached a major milestone in aviation with the grand opening of Istanbul Airport, set to become the largest airport in the world once fully completed.

The inauguration took place on Monday, April 8, during Turkey’s Republic Day celebrations, and was led by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

A New Global Hub for Air Travel

Istanbul Airport is designed to connect Europe, Asia, and Africa, making it one of the world’s most important transit hubs.

With its huge capacity, it’s expected to handle more traffic than any other airport worldwide, highlighting Turkey’s goal of becoming a leader in global aviation.

Impressive Features and Infrastructure

The airport is built to handle high volumes of passengers and flights with:

  • Six runways—four more than London’s Heathrow Airport.
  • Modern terminals with advanced boarding bridges.
  • Ample parking facilities to accommodate millions of travelers.

Its strategic location at the crossroads of three continents makes it ideal for global connectivity.

Aviation in Turkey Enters a New Era

The move to Istanbul Airport marks a big change for Turkey’s aviation sector. By the end of the year, all operations from Ataturk Airport will shift to the new airport, closing the chapter on Istanbul’s long-serving gateway.

With Istanbul Airport, Turkey is not just building an airport but setting the stage to lead global air travel.
