Istanbul Atatürk International Airport

Istanbul Airport is officially called Atatürk International Airport, after the founder of modern Turkey - Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. There are two terminals: one for international flights (A) and one for domestic flights (B). The International Terminal was opened in 2001 and is therefore quite modern.

Atatürk Airport is 24 kilometers southwest of Istanbul, in the European part. The second international airport in the city – Sabiha Gökçen International Airport – is on the other side of the Bosporus, in the Asian part. There are plans to build a new airport north of the city.
