About Sabiha Gokcen Airport

One of Istanbul's two major airports, Sabiha Gokcen International Airport, is one of the city's two international airports. It is situated on the Asian side of Istanbul, 35 kilometers to the southeast of the city's central district. Pegasus Airlines and Turkish Airlines both use it as a major hub in their operations. This building honors Sabiha Gokcen, the adoptive daughter of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk and the first female fighter pilot in the airport's history. She was given her name by this facility. The Sabiha Gokcen Airport handles around 31 million people annually, with 20 million passengers traveling domestically and 10 million passengers traveling internationally.

It is now managed by Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen International Airport Investment Development and Operation Inc. (ISG), which was established in 2008 as a joint venture between Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB), GMR Infrastructure Limited (GMR), and Limak Holding (LIMAK). This division is in charge of administering the terminal buildings, the parking lots, the ground handling, cargo, and aircraft refueling activities, as well as the hotel and CIP amenities at the airport.
