Sabiha Gokcen Airport Istanbul


Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (IATA: SAW, ICAO: LTFJ) is the city of Istanbul's second biggest international airport. On the Asian side of Istanbul, it lies 32 kilometers (20 miles) southeast of the city center. 


Sabiha Gökçen Airport serves as a hub for AnadoluJet and Pegasus Airlines, as well as a secondary base for Turkish Airlines, and is located in the Asian half of the bi-continental Istanbul. The facility is named after Sabiha Gökçen, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's adopted daughter and the world's first female fighter pilot. Although Istanbul Airport, which is situated 63 kilometers (39 miles) away on Istanbul's European side, is bigger, Sabiha Gökçen is still one of the country's biggest airports. 


The airport was constructed because Atatürk International Airport (on the European side) couldn't keep up with the rising passenger demand (both domestic and international). The airport first opened its doors on January 8, 2001. The contract for renovating and maintaining the airport was awarded in June 2007 to a consortium consisting of Turkish conglomerate Limak Holding, India's GMR Group, and Malaysia Airport Holding Berhad (MAHB). The international terminal was upgraded in mid-2008 to accommodate 25 million passengers per year. On October 31, 2009, the new terminal was officially opened. 


Sabiha Gokcen Airport's terminals 


Domestic and international flights are combined under one roof in the new terminal building, which has a passenger capacity of 25 million per year. A four-story car park with a capacity of 4,718 vehicles + 72 buses (3.836 indoors and 882 + 72 buses outdoors), a four-story hotel with 128 rooms adjacent to the terminal and with separate entrances on the air and ground sides, 112 check-in, 24 online check-in counters, and a VIP building & apron viewing CIP ha

The M4 metro line, on the other hand, is being extended to the airport. Tavşantepe, the present terminal, is approximately 10 kilometers from the airport and may be reached by cab or bus E9. You may also take shuttles to this Istanbul airport! Taksim and Kadıköy are served by shuttlebuses E10 and E11, as well as coaches to neighboring towns and cities.
