ISTANBUL
The new Istanbul Airport continues attracting more airlines owing to its increased slot capacity, the CEO of its operator said Tuesday.
“Six more airlines will start using Istanbul Airport this year, after 11 in 2019,” Kadri Samsunlu of IGA said in a speech at the Tourism Investments Forum 2020.
He added: “This trend will continue in the coming days.”
Istanbul Airport officially opened on Oct. 29, 2018, the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Republic of Turkey and took over air traffic from Ataturk Airport on April 6, 2019.
At a full annual capacity of 200 million passengers
