Executive Board Message

Inspired by Istanbul's exceptional position and energy, we believe in constant development to be the center of unique encounters and unlimited possibilities, high awareness integrated into our corporate culture, and the power of innovative and bold actions. With its internationally sustainable and innovative approach, and with its vision that strives to bring people into the future, iGA Istanbul Airport holds its stakeholders in the highest regard. We nurture our leadership culture using high human-centered values to serve the priorities of our business and our stakeholders. We strive to operate an airport that goes beyond just enabling people and entities to travel from one place to another and pioneers the values they will encounter in life.

Even during the project stage of iGA Istanbul Airport, the people were the focus of our priorities. We operate as a strong organization that contributes to Türkiye's national income and the development of the global aviation sector with our employment opportunities and ambitious vision. To us, the future means moving forward using technology for the benefit of people. In this context, we provide all our partners and guests with the airport experience of the future.

Solidarity, Continuous Improvement, Trust, and Guest-Orientedness, as our corporate values, maintain our brand identity and keep us motivated towards our goals. These values act as a compass when it comes to our approach to our business goals, stakeholders, competition, and the society we live in.

Solidarity: With a culture that prioritizes our stakeholders in order to reach our growth goals, we maintain the harmony of interests and maximize mutual benefits in every step we take.

Continuous Improvement: We focus on constant progression and process improvement regardless of the conditions. From the very beginning, we endeavored to transform all of the knowledge we have gained into a positive experience for our stakeholders.

Trust: We aim to build sincere and sensible bridges of trust between us and our stakeholders in every step we take, thanks to our staff for their strong humanitarian values.

Guest-Orientedness: We manifest our guest-oriented approach, a core component of our culture, in every step of the relations we build with our partners. Most importantly, we work hard to host our visitors to the highest standards, giving them a taste of the good life, beyond serving as just a destination.

Based on these corporate values, we continue to provide our services for an annual capacity of 90 million passengers, with our airport constructed over an area of 76.5 million square meters, a terminal building with an area of 1.4 million square meters, three independent runways, an air traffic control tower, and support facilities. Comprised of four phases and ­expected to have a 200-million passenger capacity when completed, iGA Istanbul Airport will have an ecosystem that will cover 5% of Türkiye's gross domestic product­in its finished state.

The experience we offer is certainly not limited to our terminal. Our innovative technologies play a vital role in this experience, which was designed with an inclusive approach. We started our journey with the promise of becoming the world's most competitive airport in digital transformation. Thus, we have differentiated ourselves by adopting the "Smart Airport" concept through our state-of-the-art technological infrastructure. With firm advancements in the global arena of aviation thanks to the top-tier travel experience we provide, we were awarded the "5-Star Airport" award in 2021 and 2022 by one of the most important aviation organizations, Skytrax.

In addition to passenger transport, we aim high in cargo and logistics, a prominent field among the world's most important sectors... iGA Istanbul Airport, due to its geo-strategic position amidst Europe, Asia, and Africa, is a natural center point for the operations of cargo and logistics companies. In addition to being an essential part of Istanbul's economic growth, with its high-quality safety, security, and efficiency services, iGA Istanbul Airport Cargo City is a center for various notable cargo and logistic companies in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Middle Asia. At iGA Istanbul Airport, the most important global hub in the region, working to be a regional cargo transit center for the world's leading cargo companies, we accommodate 18 scheduled cargo airline companies.

As iGA Istanbul Airport, we are ready to have our name in the global aviation industry written in golden letters. Our goal is to be a role model for future generations as a sustainable airport that avoids being wasteful and recycles its waste. In this journey, we will continue to promote the national and global economy thanks to our business practices prioritizing shared interests with our partners, innovative initiatives, and sustainability approach.
