STORYLINE:

Istanbul Airport, Türkiye's largest aviation hub, will launch simultaneous takeoff and landing operations across its three runways to accommodate growing passenger capacity, Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Abdulkadir Uraloglu announced Monday.

"On April 17, 2025, we will begin simultaneous takeoff and landing operations on all three runways at Istanbul Airport," the minister said in a statement.

"This will allow us to minimize operational delays," Uraloglu added. "Additionally, we will maximize fuel savings and flight efficiency."

Under its expansion plan, the airport will have six runways by 2028. "With the commissioning of the new runways, the efficiency of air traffic operations will further improve," Uraloglu noted.

The airport served approximately 76 million passengers last year and aims to reach a figure of 81 million in 2024.

Istanbul Airport officially opened in late October 2018 and became fully operational in early April 2019.
