Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen International Airport
Istanbul

The construction of a new terminal building and an extension was started on May 1, 2008 by our founding company, the Turkish holding Limak Group (ranked 61st in the international Engineering News Record Top 250). Before that, the airport consisted of two small terminals.

According to Wikipedia, the construction investment period was 30 months. The airport was commissioned on October 31, 2009, 18 months after the start of construction. This is a record taking into account such a large scale and technical characteristics.

Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen International Airport, which has received several awards for architecture, construction quality and management in a short period of time, was selected as one of the 5 safest airports in the world by Risk Management Magazine in 2010.

The project includes:

• The terminal building with an area of 200,000 m², which is equipped with 16 telescopic ladders. In the terminal left wing there is a domestic departure area, and in the right — an international departure area. The arrivals area is located on the first floor, while the departure area is on the second floor.
• Total built-up area: 500,000 m².
• Duty Free area: 4,500 m².
• Four-level underground parking with an area of 153,000 m2, designed for 4,718 cars and 72 buses.
