STORYLINE:

Istanbul Airport, Türkiye's largest international aviation hub, has introduced a heartwarming initiative featuring the service of therapy dogs.

These specially-trained furry companions, stationed in the international departures area starting from 8 a.m., are ready to calm the nerves of passengers during peak flight hours.

"The goal is simple: to provide a peaceful and enjoyable travel experience," said Abdulkadir Demirtas, customer experience manager at Istanbul Airport.

The airport has found that passengers have often been grappling with stress and anxiety before long-lasting flights while staying at the terminals.

"Scientific studies have long highlighted the positive impact of human-animal interaction on mental well-being. We are guided by this research in our endeavor to create a stress-free environment for travelers," Demirtas emphasized.

This project initially includes five dogs on hand and the number could be further expanded following positive feedback from passengers.
