The Istanbul New Airport

Istanbul, the enchanting city straddling two continents, embodies a unique fusion of history and the future. This fusion is nowhere more evident than in the remarkable saga of the Istanbul New Airport, affectionately known as the Istanbul Grand Airport. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity, unwavering determination and exceptional engineering prowess.

A monumental vision

Nestled in the heart of Istanbul's Arnavutköy district, this multi-billion-dollar project sprawls across an astonishing 7,657 hectare (18,870 acre), firmly securing its place among the world's largest airport endeavours. However, what truly sets this airport apart is its audacious goal – to serve as the central hub for Turkish Airlines and regional carriers, with a capacity to cater to an astounding 200 million passengers annually.
The scale and complexity of the Istanbul New Airport demonstrate the marvels of modern engineering. It boasts six expansive runways, four sprawling terminals and a remarkable ensemble of parking facilities and maintenance structures, representing the pinnacle of contemporary airport infrastructure. Beyond its grandeur, the airport's commitment to environmental sustainability is equally noteworthy. Features like rainwater harvesting, solar energy generation and energy-efficient lighting underscore its dedication to reducing its ecological footprint, setting a pioneering example for sustainable aviation infrastructure.
