Türkiye - 2.2 Aviation
Key airport information may also be found at: http://worldaerodata.com/
Supervising authority: The Civil Aviation Authority of Türkiye (SHGM) is the government agency responsible for the supervision of civil aviation in Türkiye. SHGM is responsible for the licensing of airlines, airports, and other aviation-related businesses; the regulation of air traffic; and the investigation of aviation accidents and incidents.
Private managing companies: There are a number of private companies that manage airports in Türkiye, including TAV Airports Holding, Celebi Aviation and IGA. These companies are responsible for the day-to-day operations of airports, such as passenger and baggage handling, ground handling, and catering.
Overall national capacity: Türkiye has a relatively large aviation sector, with 55 airports in operation, a total of 181 million passengers carried, 1,678,249 tonnes of cargo transported and 1,488,626 aircraft movements in 2022. The country's largest airport is Istanbul Airport, which opened in 2018 and is now the busiest airport in Europe.
Significant constraints: Some of the significant constraints on the Turkish aviation sector include:
-
Airspace congestion: Türkiye's airspace is one of the busiest in the world, and this can lead to congestion and delays.
-
Security concerns: Türkiye has been the target of a number of terrorist attacks in recent years, and this has led to increased security measures at airports, which can slow down the flow of passengers.
Planned enhancements and investments: The Turkish government has plans to invest heavily in the aviation sector in the coming years. These investments are aimed at improving the country's airspace infrastructure, expanding its airport capacity, and increasing its security measures. The government is also planning to privatize a number of state-owned airports.
As of 2022, there are 55 active airports open to civil aviation in the country. The top 10 airports with (filtered as per cargo traffic) are shown on below table:

Türkiye - 2.2.9 Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport
Airport Overview
Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) is one of two international airports serving Istanbul, the largest city in Türkiye. It is located on the Asian side of the city and serves as a hub for AnadoluJet and Pegasus Airlines.
One of the major bottlenecks at SAW is the access to and from the airport, which relies mainly on road transportation. The airport is connected to the city center by buses, taxis, and private shuttles, but there is no metro or rail service available yet. This can cause delays and frustration for travelers, especially during peak hours or bad weather.
Another issue that affects the airport's operations and customers is the security risk posed by terrorist attacks. In 2015, a bomb exploded in the apron area of the airport, killing one cleaner and injuring another. The airport has since increased its security measures, but this also means longer waiting times and stricter controls for passengers and staff.
