international airport to be built in Istanbul after Istanbul Atatürk Airport and Sabiha Gökçen International Airport. Atatürk Airport will be closed down once the new airport is fully operational. As of February 2018, around 80% of the construction of the new airport has been completed. The airport's formal inaugura- tion will take place on October 29th, 2018, with test operations taking place from February 26th, 2018, onwards. The €7bn airport has been built at the intersection of the
Arnavutköy, Göktürk and Çatalca junction roads , north of the European side of Istanbul between the Black Sea regions of Yeniköy and Akpınar. The construction zone is a 7,659-hectare region near Lake Terkos. Some 6,172 hectares of this area consists of state- owned forest. The distance between Istanbul New Airport and Atatürk Airport is approx. 35 km. The Istanbul New Airport will also be linked by several lines of the Istanbul Metro to Istanbul in 2018.
