Appointed by the Turkish consortium of Cengiz, Kolin, Limak, MAPA and Kalyon, the plans have been created following an intensive design period. Located on the Black Sea coast, some 35km outside of Istanbul, the ambitious six-runway development will be delivered in four phases. The first phase will open in 2019 and aims to serve 90 million passengers p/a. This will increase to over 150 million passengers p/a when the last phase is completed. The new Istanbul Airport will be the world's largest airport terminal, with a gross floor area close to one million square metres for the first terminal.
