Istanbul Airport: Europe's Busiest Hub

Istanbul Airport (IST) served 90.5 million passengers in 2024 according to DHMİ, making it Europe's busiest airport. With 6 runways, 2 terminals, and over 300 destinations, it is one of the world's largest transfer hubs. The airport is located in the Arnavutkoy district, 35-55 km from the city centre, accessed via the Northern Marmara Motorway (O-7) and Northern Ring Motorway (O-6).

IBB transport data shows airport-to-city daily passenger traffic exceeds 250,000. Although the M11 metro line to the airport opened in 2023, it requires connections for most hotel areas. Private transfer offers the fastest passage from exit gate to your vehicle with a driver escort through the airport's massive terminal.
