Location
The airport is located approximately 40 km northwest of Taksim Square near the district of Tayakadin. It can be reached via the O-6 motorway and the D-020 highway.
At the moment there is only a shuttle bus service operating to and from the new airport. This is operated by the Istanbul city administration and the private company İstanbul Otobüs A.Ş. The buses run regularly between the airport and the following stops: IST1-Yenikapi, IST2-Tüyap, IST3 Bus Station, IST7-Kozyatağı, IST19-Taksim, H2-Mecidiyeköy, H3-Halkali, H4-Atatürk Airport.
An airport metro station is currently under construction and is expected to open in the summer of 2019.
History
Istanbul Atatürk Airport has been at the limit of its capacity for years. Expansion is only possible to a limited extent due to housing close to the airport. For this reason, the city administration decided to develop an entirely new airport. A disused colliery was chosen as a suitable location for the project, which is located approximately 40 km northwest of Taksim Square near the districts of Yeniköy and Akpinar. The foundation stone was officially put in place in June 2014. Construction will be carried out in a total of four stages and is expected to be completed by 2027. Once completed, the airport will be able to handle up to 200 million passengers a year, making it the world's largest airport.
