General Information About the Airport

In the first week of the 21st century, Türkiye gained a new symbol. With its strategic location, functional architecture, transportation links, and usage areas, Sabiha Gökçen Airport builds a bridge to Türkiye’s future. In addition to its modern infrastructure equipped with the latest technological capabilities, its elegant architecture—true to the name it bears—sets Sabiha Gökçen Airport apart from its peers. Different tones of metal and grey gain new meaning through abundant daylight and the blue of the sky.

Sabiha Gökçen Airport welcomes its arriving guests from the sky like a caring mother. Just like its namesake, Türkiye’s first female combat pilot Sabiha Gökçen, the airport opens new horizons for the country. As the first step of the “Advanced Technology Industrial Park” project—which will serve the nation in fields such as transportation, foreign trade, aviation, and technology—the airport leads the way for the region’s transformation into a future technology hub. Just as Sabiha Gökçen once pioneered equal roles for Turkish women alongside men in all areas of professional life.
