Increasing Airport Capacity


10:05 - 10:35 - Increasing Sabiha Gökçen International Airport's short-term capacity
Synopsis: Sabiha Gökçen International Airport in Istanbul, as one of the most important airport investments in Turkey, is among the fastest-growing airports in the world. Due to this continuous growth, long-term new investments with very high budgets have been started. Until the construction of the second runway and the ancillary facilities are completed, in order to meet the increasing demand, additional build and non-build solutions to manage the capacity throughput have become inevitable. The presentation will cover the operational solutions and short-term investments planned and applied on the airside as well as in the passenger terminal at Sabiha Gökçen Airport.
