Istanbul Airport, Airport terminal in İmrahor Mahallesi, Turkey
Description
Istanbul Airport is a terminal with large glass facades, high vaulted ceilings, and multiple boarding gates serving both domestic and international connections. The hall stretches across several levels with waiting areas, shops, and restaurants arranged around a central zone.
History
Operations began on October 29, 2018, after the old Atatürk Airport reached its capacity limits. The opening marked a fresh start for Turkish aviation and Istanbul's connection to the world.
Culture
The terminal offers a wide selection of Turkish food outlets, cafés, and shops where travelers find local products like tea, spices, and handcrafted items. Many passengers use the prayer rooms and ablution facilities designed to meet the needs of Muslim visitors.
Practical
Travelers should allow extra time to pass through security checks and reach the correct gate, as distances can be considerable. Signs in multiple languages and digital displays help with orientation inside the building.
