Istanbul is one of the most fascinating cities in the world. It is a living history and bridge between East & West that spans on two continents, Europe & Asia. It has more top attractions and historical layers than many other famous cities in the world of the same magnitude.
Istanbul had many different names and been home to various cultures since around 6700 BC.
One of the first known is a fishing village of Semistra that appeared on the European shore of Bosphorus in the same period that kings David and Solomon ruled in Jerusalem, and existed along with the neighboring Lygos founded by Thracian tribes between the 13th and 11th centuries BC. It was followed by Byzantium, Augusta Antonina, Dersaadet, Asitane, Constantinople, and, at last, Istanbul; the name was officially changed in 1930.
It was one of the most frequently besieged cities in the world. Before being conquered by the Turkish Ottomans in 1453, its assailants included the Persian King Darius (513 BC) the Athenian Alcibiades (408 BC) the Spartans after the end of the Peloponnesian War (404 BC), Macedonian Philip II (340 BC), the Arabs, the Bulgarians and the armies of the Fourth Crusade.
Istanbul is considered to be one of the main air traffic hubs with 2 international airports: Ataturk International Airport on European Side and Sabiha Gokcen International Airport on Asia Side.
Our national carrier Turkish Airlines operates today direct flights to/from 233 international destinations in 109 countries of Africa, Americas, Asia, Australia and Europe in addition to 45 domestic destinations. The airline has been named the Best Airline of Europe for the fourth year running.
Apart of Turkish Airlines, the majority of European, Asian, American and African carriers serve Istanbul daily. Istanbul is easy to reach from all around the world via non-stop flights. It is from 2 - 4 hours from Europe, from 10 to 13 hours from the East coast of North America or South Africa and Far East countries.

Sabiha Gokcen Airport Sabiha Gokcen was the first woman pilot of Turkey and the first woman combat pilot in the World during the late 30's that the airport is named after. She was also one of the stepdaughters of Ataturk and lived between 1913-2001.With the constant growth of arrivals and air traffic, there has been the need of a new airport for Istanbul. Because of the logistics and public demand, the Asian side of the city was chosen for this task. The construction was started in 1998 and finished in September 2000 with two runways. A private foreign company, Malaysia Airports, is running the airport today under the regulations of DHMI (State Airports Authority). The airport is located on the Anatolian side of Istanbul at Kurtkoy in Pendik district, at a distance of 12 kilometers to Pendik, 40 kilometers to Kadikoy, and 50 kilometers to Taksim Square. It's also only 10 minutes away from Istanbul Park Formula 1 race circuit. With the new international terminal built on October 2009, the airport now has a capacity of 35 million passengers per year. Inside the terminals, there are CIP and VIP lounges, Duty Free shops, bars and cafeterias, pubs and restaurants, a hotel, post office, bank, emergency medical service, rent-a-car, car parks etc. There are many taxis and shuttle bus service to the city.

Airport ni dah tutup for commercial flights
Ataturk Airport The first aerodrome in Istanbul was opened in Yesilkoy neighborhood in 1912 for military purposes. The civilian international airport was built between 1949-1953 by the Westinghouse Electric International Company and the IG White Engineering Corporation. Yesilkoy Airport was officially opened in August 1st, 1953.This was the first International airport of Istanbul and named after Ataturk, the founder of the Republic.When single runway became insufficient with the development of international civil aviation, a new runway was built in 1972. By the end of 90's, the airport was not able to catch up with the increasing air traffic so there was a need of a new one. In 1997 a consortium led by two leading Turkish construction groups, Tepe and Akfen, won the BOT (Build, Operate, Transfer) contract of the Government for the new Istanbul Ataturk Airport international terminal complex. The construction was completed in 22 months at a cost of 306 million US dollars. A third runway was also built. Istanbul Ataturk Airport was operated by TAV Istanbul Terminal Operations Company under the terms of the DHMI (State Airports Authority). TAV commenced the Ataturk airport operation for 15.5 years at a cost of USD 3 billion, after which it was transferred to the State at no cost. The airport is located 24 kilometers west of the city center (Taksim Square). It had a capacity of 20 million passengers per year. International airport code was IST, but then this code was transfered to the new airport. At the moment only Cargo planes and State aircrafts land at Ataturk airport. All civilian air traffic was shifted to the new Istanbul airport by March 2019.
