Istanbul Airport (Turkish: İstanbul Havalimanı, IATA: IST, ICAO: LTFM)[5] is the larger of two international airports serving Istanbul, Turkey. It is located in the Arnavutköy district on the European side of the city.
All scheduled commercial passenger flights were transferred from Atatürk Airport to Istanbul Airport on 6 April 2019, following the closure of Atatürk Airport for scheduled passenger flights.[6] The IATA airport code IST was also transferred to the new airport.[7][8]
It served more than 76 million passengers in 2023, making it the 2nd-busiest airport in Europe of 2023, after Heathrow Airport and it was also the 7th-busiest airport in the world of 2023 in terms of total passenger traffic and, by serving more than 58 million international passengers, the 6th-busiest airport in the world in terms of international passenger traffic according to ACI World traffic values.[9][10] It serves up to 114 countries and is the hub for Turkish Airlines.
