highways and a metro line, bridging the distance between Pendik (12 KM), Kadıköy (31 KM), and Taksim (40 KM). The M4 Pendik-Sabiha Gökçen Metro line, launched in 2022, solidifies ISG’s status as the preferred city airport. This 7.4 KM line with 23 stations can transport 1.2 million people daily, reducing travel time between the airport and Kadıköy to just 50 minutes. Exceptional Customer Experience ISG’s compact and well-organised terminal design ensures seamless navigation and convenient access to shopping and dining options.
