Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen (ISG) International Airport is your gateway into Istanbul’s rich tapestry of history, culture, shopping and dining. Situated on the Anatolian side of the city, ISG connects 164 destinations worldwide across 54 countries. With the addition of a second runway in December, 2023, Sabiha Gökçen Airport is poised to double its traffic capacity. As Türkiye’s second largest airport, ISG has emerged stronger post-pandemic and ranked as the 8th busiest airport in Europe in Q1, 2024. In 2023, ISG served 37.1 million passengers, marking the highest annual figure in its history. Conenectivity and Convenience Serving Istanbul, one of Europe’s most populous cities with a population of about 16 million, ISG offers excellent connectivity via two major

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.

The new chip ID card system allows Turkish passengers to breeze through their boarding gates, monitored by an artificial intelligence-based image processing system for security. Coupled with the e-passport system, Turkish citizens over the age of 18 with chip-embedded passports can scan their passports at e-passport counters for a fast and easy journey through passport control. Further enhancing airport guests’ experience is the ISG mobile app that allows passengers to check in for flights, track and view flight status, navigate the airport and access information on deals, campaigns and promotions available at the airport. The
