Airport guide

İstanbul Atatürk Airport (LTBA) sat 12 miles west of central Istanbul and was the principal Istanbul commercial airport until 2019, when most commercial operations migrated to the new İstanbul Airport (LTFM). LTBA is now used primarily for cargo and business aviation. The two runways (12,310 ft, 8,907 ft) handle every current business jet. Field elevation 162 ft, no density-altitude concerns. For Istanbul business aviation, LTBA is the typical default given the easier ramp access vs. LTFM's congestion. Ground time to Taksim Square is 30 minutes; Sultanahmet is 35.
