Istanbul Atatürk Airport and Sabiha Gokcen Airport

Currently, two international air terminals operate in Istanbul: the old one, the name of Ataturk, and the new one, named after Sabiha Gokcen, built because the main airport in Istanbul stopped coping with the increased passenger traffic. The newly constructed air port is located in the Asian side of the city quite far from the center, and you can get here only by taxi.

Atatürk Airport can be reached by almost any type of Istanbul public transport. Most often local residents and foreign tourists use buses that operate on the route "City - Airport". Istanbul in this sense is generally very developed, and to the services of citizens and visitors of the capital, a large tram park and many metro lines are offered, allowing for a short time to reach the necessary terminal.

The international airport, named after the world's first female military pilot-fighter Sabiha Gokcen, is located thirty-five kilometers from the city center. This is one of the busiest airports in Europe today. A lot of tourists from all over the world give positive feedback about this terminal, noting its beauty, convenience and modernity.

The main international airport in Istanbul, Ataturk, is located twenty-four kilometers from the city center and is the largest air hub in Turkey. Here is the base of the airline "Turkish Airlines", carrying out flights over more than one hundred and fifty different destinations. For many years, this airport in Istanbul has occupied the twentieth place in the world and the sixth in Europe in terms of the number of passengers served. For example, by the end of 2012, its passenger turnover exceeded the forty-five million mark. Its name was given to the airport in honor of the first president of Turkey.

Expect the flight, arriving at Istanbul Ataturk Airport, comfortable and very nice. For the convenience of passengers, a wide variety of services are provided here, and the internal and international terminals are interconnected by a convenient underground passage. Customers of the Istanbul air port can spend their free time in numerous restaurants, coffee houses and fast food restaurants, go to bookshops and duty-free shops. In addition, there is a post office, a pharmacy, a hairdresser and a car rental service.

One of them is connected to an international terminal and provides passengers with thirty-four comfortable rooms. The other one is located on the territory of the airport and has fifty pleasant and comfortable rooms.

Most travelers choose this airport as a transfer point on their way to Asia or Europe, taking into account the breadth of the route network presented here and the attractive cost of air travel.
