A short step from the rest of Europe and Asia
Turkey is located in the centre of Europe and Asia. That makes Turkey is one of the easiest countries to reach: every year 50 million tourist visit to turkey.
Istanbul Airport is the main international airport serving Istanbul, Turkey. It is located in the Arnavutköy district on the European side of the city.
All scheduled commercial passenger flights were transferred from Istanbul Atatürk Airport to Istanbul Airport on 6 April 2019, following the closure of Istanbul Atatürk Airport for scheduled passenger flights. The IATA airport code IST was also transferred to the new airport. Once all phases are completed by the mid-2020s, the airport will be able to accommodate 200 million passengers a year.
