At the same time, the number of flights from the outside lines was 232 and the number of passengers was 42 thousand 434. The previous records were recorded as 231 times on June 8 and 41 thousand 959 passengers on June 8, respectively. In the increase in passenger density, the four -day holiday period, which was a public holiday, was combined with July 15 and the weekend, was effective.
In order to respond to the increasing demand for passengers in the ISG, which has become a strategic center in airline connections between Europe, Asia and Africa, the effects of the “Improving Passenger Flow Project”, which was initiated with an investment of approximately 34 million euros in 2024, are significantly felt especially in the intensity of holiday periods.
Due to its transportation opportunities and proximity to the central regions, the ISG, known as the “City Airport”, connects Istanbul and its environs to 148 points: 39 domestic lines and 109 international lines in 53 countries.
According to the May 2025 Air Traffic Report of the European Council of Airports (bitter) as one of the gates of Istanbul to the world, the ISG was the fastest growing terminal among the airports that hosted over 40 million passengers per year. The ISG has increased by 14.9 percent compared to the same month of last year, serving approximately 3.94 million passengers.
