Istanbul New Airport Control Tower
In a massive
logistics operation that will start tomorrow, Turkey is going to say goodbye to
Atatürk Airport, which has long been home to Turkey's rise in global aviation
and move to the new Istanbul Airport. The long-awaited process of shifting from
the longtime home of Turkish civil aviation, Atatürk Airport, to the new
Istanbul Airport will kick off at 3 a.m. tomorrow. The move will last for 45
hours and be completed just before midnight on Saturday if all goes according
to plan. Both the outgoing Atatürk Airport and the incoming Istanbul Airport
will be closed to all passenger flights for a period of 12 hours, between 2
a.m. and 2 p.m. that day.
Atatürk International Airport, which was commissioned in
1953, will no longer serve commercial flights as of Saturday. The airport,
which handled 68 million people last year, will transition to other uses, such
as training activities, aviation fairs and civil use.
The last plane to carry passengers from Atatürk Airport
will fly to Singapore on Saturday at 2 a.m. [April 5, 2300GMT]. Flights at
Istanbul Airport will increase gradually as of Saturday at 2 p.m. The first
flight after the big move will be to Ankara's Esenboğa
Airport.
Due to big move Turkish Airlines flights to Sarajevo will see
temporarily adjustments. In transition period flights will operate once a day
instead of three daily (from April 5 to April 11). On April 11 all flights go
back to normal and will operate as scheduled three times per day.
