History

= Background =

Atatürk Airport was one of the busiest airports in Europe. Since 2013, it had ranked among the five busiest airports in Europe by passenger traffic. In 2017, Atatürk Airport and Sabiha Gökçen, Istanbul's other international airport, handled over 100 million passengers combined.{{cite web|url=http://www.ataturk.dhmi.gov.tr/getBinaryFile.aspx?Type=13&dosyaID=3&IstatistikID=129|title=Turkish Airport Traffic Statistics|website=DHMI Turkey|access-date=18 March 2016|archive-date=18 January 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180118011325/http://www.ataturk.dhmi.gov.tr/getBinaryFile.aspx?Type=13&dosyaID=3&IstatistikID=129|url-status=dead}} By comparison, the six London-area airports serve more than 150 million passengers a year, while the three Paris-area airports serve around 100 million passengers a year.

As Atatürk Airport was hemmed in by the city on three sides and the sea of Marmara on another, it was unable to expand to meet the growing demands placed on it. Sabiha Gökçen was also at capacity. The decision was taken to build a new airport, well away from the city to ensure ample space.

= Location =

It was decided to construct the new airport at the intersection of roads to Arnavutköy, Göktürk, and Çatalca, north of central Istanbul and between the Black Sea coast towns of {{Interlanguage link|Yeniköy, Arnavutköy|tr||lt=Yeniköy|WD=}}, Tayakadın and Akpınar. The area is a {{convert|7600|ha|acre|adj=on}} region near Lake Terkos. Some {{convert|6172|ha|acre}} of this area was state-owned forest. The distance between Istanbul Airport and Atatürk Airport is approximately {{convert|35|km|mi|abbr=on|sp=us}}. The area encompassed old open-pit coal mines, which were later filled with soil.{{cite news |url=http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/consortium-wins-istanbul-airport-tender-for-221-billion-euros.aspx?pageID=238&nID=46153&NewsCatID=344 |newspaper=Hürriyet Daily News |title=Consortium wins Istanbul airport tender for 22.1 billion euros |date=3 May 2013 |access-date=3 May 2013}}

According to the Environmental Impact Assessment (ÇED) report published in April 2013, there were a total of 2,513,341 trees in the area and 657,950 of them would need to be cut indispensably, while 1,855,391 trees would be moved to new places. However, the Ministry of Forest and Water Management claimed the exact number of trees cut and moved would only be revealed after construction was complete.

=Construction=

Construction of the airport was divided over four phases. When all stages are completed, the airport will have the capacity to serve 200 million yearly passengers, which would at that time have made it the world's biggest airport. The cost of the project was estimated at €7 billion, without accounting for the cost of financing.

The project was achieved by an international design team working across different phases, but all focused on the collective vision.

The architects behind the concept design were [https://grimshaw.global/ Grimshaw Architects], [https://nordicarch.com/ Nordic Office of Architecture] and [https://hapticarchitects.com/ Haptic Architects].

The lead delivery architect was Scott Brownrigg, also in charge of the interior concept design with IGA Design. Local delivery architects were Fonksiyon Mimarlik, Turgut Alton Mimarlik and Kiklop Design & Engineering.

A tender was made for the construction as well as for operating the airport. Bidding for these tenders took place on 3 May 2013. Of the eligible companies, four Turkish and two foreign contenders took part in the bidding process. The Turkish joint venture consortium of Cengiz-Kolin-Limak-Mapa-Kalyon won the tender and were obliged to pay the government 26.142 billion including value-added tax for a 25-year lease starting from 2018. The completion date of the construction's first stage was officially set for 2018 – 42 months after the finalization of the tender's approval.

The groundbreaking ceremony took place on 7 June 2014,[https://www.welt.de/newsticker/dpa_nt/infoline_nt/wirtschaft_nt/article128833627/Grundsteinlegung-fuer-Mega-Flughafen-in-Istanbul.html Grundsteinlegung für Mega-Flughafen in Istanbul.] welt.de, 7 June 2014; retrieved, 8 June 2014. though construction only started in May 2015 after the land was officially handed over.{{cite news|title=Construction of new Istanbul airport officially starts under the shadow of challenges, questions|url=http://www.turkishweekly.net/2015/07/18/news/construction-of-new-istanbul-airport-officially-starts-under-shadow-of-challenges-questions/|access-date=21 July 2015|date=18 July 2015|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150802094610/http://www.turkishweekly.net/2015/07/18/news/construction-of-new-istanbul-airport-officially-starts-under-shadow-of-challenges-questions/|archive-date=2 August 2015}}

The inauguration of the airport took place on the planned date of 29 October 2018. It was reported that the first test landing at the airport would take place on 26 February 2018; however, the first landing took place on 20 June 2018.[https://www.yeniasir.com.tr/ekonomi/2018/02/08/ilk-yolcusu-cumhurbaskani-erdogan-olacak – "Istanbul Grand Airport to open in October 2018"] {{in lang |de}} 6 October 2017.

The construction of the airport is taking place in several stages, expanding the airport and its facilities over time.{{cite web |publisher=Star|url=http://haber.stargazete.com/ekonomi/3-havalimaninda-tarih-belli-oldu/haber-721825 |title=Dünyanın en büyük havalimanı İstanbul'a yapılıyor |date=24 January 2013 |access-date=24 January 2013}}{{cite web|url=http://igairport.com/en/istanbul-new-airport/construction/about-the-construction|title=İGA – About the Construction|website=igairport.com|access-date=27 March 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180328103248/http://igairport.com/en/istanbul-new-airport/construction/about-the-construction|archive-date=28 March 2018|url-status=dead}}{{cite web|url=http://www.igairport.com/istanbul-yeni-havalimani/insaat/asamalar|title=İGA – Aşamalar|website=www.igairport.com|access-date=27 March 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180430202254/http://www.igairport.com/istanbul-yeni-havalimani/insaat/asamalar|archive-date=30 April 2018|url-status=dead}}

The first stage consists of the main terminal, with an annual passenger capacity of 90 million and an area of {{convert|1440000|m2|sqft|abbr=on}} — making it the world's third-largest airport terminal building.{{cite web |title=Construction – İGA |url=https://www.igairport.com/en/about-iga/construction |website=igairport.com |access-date=6 April 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190401162826/https://www.igairport.com/en/about-iga/construction |archive-date=1 April 2019 |url-status=dead}} There will also be two pairs of parallel runways connected to eight parallel taxiways to the west of the main terminal, approximately {{convert|4000000|m2|sqft|abbr=on}} of apron space, and an indoor car-park with a capacity of 12,000 vehicles. In addition, the airport will feature three technical blocks for repairs, maintenance, and fueling, as well as an air traffic control tower, eight ramp control towers, and hangars for cargo and general aviation aircraft.{{cite web |title=Phases – İGA |url=https://www.igairport.com/en/about-iga/construction/phases |website=igairport.com |access-date=6 April 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190401143516/https://www.igairport.com/en/about-iga/construction/phases |archive-date=1 April 2019 |url-status=dead}} Several other services are also to be in operation, including hospitals, frequent-flyer and VIP lounges, prayer rooms, convention centers, and hotels; some of these are expected to form part of the Istanbul Airport City project.{{cite web |title=Istanbul Airport City – İGA |url=https://www.igairport.com/en/istanbul-airport/istanbul-airport-city |website=igairport.com |access-date=6 April 2019 |archive-date=5 October 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211005232959/https://www.igairport.com/en/istanbul-airport/istanbul-airport-city |url-status=dead}}

The second stage will add a third independent runway to the east of the main terminal, as well as a fourth remote runway with an east–west heading and additional taxiways and apron areas. The third stage is planned to add a second passenger terminal with a capacity of 60 million annual passengers and an estimated area of around {{convert|960000|m2|sqft|abbr=on}}, as well as an additional runway and new support facilities area.

The fourth and final stage of expansion will, along with adding another runway, allow for the construction of satellite terminals with a combined capacity of 50 million passengers and an area of up to {{convert|800000|m2|sqft|abbr=on}} if needed.

Once fully completed by 2027, the airport will have six sets of runways (eight in total), 16 taxiways, and a total annual passenger capacity of 150 million passengers.{{cite web|last1=Ay|first1=Hasan|title=Havalimanı değil zafer anıtı|url=http://www.sabah.com.tr/Gundem/2014/06/08/havalimani-degil-zafer-aniti|website=sabah.com.tr|publisher=Sabah|access-date=8 June 2014}} If fully expanded to a capacity of 200 million, the airport will exhibit four terminal buildings with interconnecting rail access that combine for a total indoor area of {{convert|3200000|m2|sqft|abbr=on}}. The airport will also have a {{convert|6500000|m2|sqft|abbr=on}} apron with a parking capacity of 500 aircraft, VIP lounges, cargo and general aviation facilities, a state palace, and indoor and outdoor parking that can accommodate up to 70,000 cars. A medical center, aircraft rescue and firefighting stations, hotels, convention centers, power plants, and wastewater treatment facilities will also be built.

= Controversies =

The Turkish Chamber of Environmental Engineers (ÇMO) took the project tender to court on the grounds that the project violated the existing legislation for the preparation of the Environmental Impact Assessment (ÇED) report. In February 2014, an Istanbul administrative court ordered the construction of the airport to be suspended.{{cite news|url=http://www.todayszaman.com/news-339045-istanbul-court-orders-suspension-of-3rd-airports-construction.html|title=İstanbul court orders suspension of 3rd airport's construction|date=10 February 2014|newspaper=Today's Zaman|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140226030448/http://www.todayszaman.com//news-339045-istanbul-court-orders-suspension-of-3rd-airports-construction.html|archive-date=26 February 2014|url-status=dead|access-date=8 June 2014}} However, the groundbreaking ceremony still took place a few months later, on 7 June 2014.

A report published in the Turkish newspaper Cumhuriyet in February 2018 claimed that more than 400 workers had been killed during the construction of the airport, with accidents killing three to four workers every week, and families of the killed workers being paid to remain silent about the incidents.{{cite news|url=http://www.augsburger-allgemeine.de/politik/Staunen-und-Sterben-auf-dem-neuen-Mega-Flughafen-in-Istanbul-id44313116.html|title=Staunen und Sterben auf dem neuen Mega-Flughafen in Istanbul|last=Güsten|first=Susanne|date=25 February 2018|work=Augsburger Allgemeine|access-date=26 February 2018|language=de|trans-title=Amazement and dying at the new mega-airport in Istanbul}}{{cite news|url=https://thearabweekly.com/mega-airport-project-turkeys-istanbul-rocked-deaths-dozens-workers|title=Mega airport project in Turkey's Istanbul rocked by deaths of dozens of workers|last=Seibert|first=Thomas|date=25 February 2018|work=The Arab Weekly|access-date=31 October 2018}} Turkish daily Evrensel also alleged that fatal accidents continued to occur. This prompted opposition MP Veli Ağbaba to submit a written questionnaire to the Turkish parliament on 13 February 2018. In response, the Turkish Ministry of Labour and Social Security claimed that there were only 27 fatalities during the construction of the airport.{{cite news|url=http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/turkish-government-says-27-workers-killed-in-istanbuls-third-airport-construction-127312|title=Turkish government says 27 workers killed in Istanbul's third airport construction|last=Boyacıoğlu|first=Hacer|date=14 February 2018|work=Hürriyet|access-date=26 February 2018}} In October 2019, UK publications Construction News and Architects' Journal published a joint investigation into fatalities at the airport, nicknamed by workers "the cemetery" as so many have died. By this point, the official death toll had risen to 55, but unofficial estimates suggested that the figure could be "higher than 400".{{cite news|last1=Garner-Purkis|first1=Zac|last2=Hurst|first2=Will|title=Investigation: the human cost of building the world's biggest airport|url=https://www.architectsjournal.co.uk/10044751.article|access-date=10 October 2019|work=Architects' Journal|date=10 October 2019}}

Mass worker protests broke out on 14 September 2018 after a bus carrying workers crashed, injuring 17. Complaints by workers included poor living conditions in "vermin-infested dormitories", issues in transportation that had left them stranded under the rain or on-site during holidays, and long delays in payments, among others.{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/turkce/haberler-turkiye-45559105|title=3.

The airport features a total of five concourses lettered A, B, D, F, and G with a total of 143 passenger boarding bridges. Concourse G, which is located in the southeast, is reserved solely for domestic flights. Three passenger boarding bridges of Concourse F which is directly to the north of Concourse G have also been allocated for domestic flights. Concourses A, B, D, and F are used for international flights. The C and E concourses connect directly to the main terminal and are therefore not independent concourses.{{cite web|url=https://www.istanbulhavalimani.com/en/passenger/airport-guide/airport-map|title=Istanbul Airport Map|access-date=14 January 2019|archive-date=15 April 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190415202523/https://www.istanbulhavalimani.com/en/passenger/airport-guide/airport-map|url-status=dead}}
