Session: Increasing Airport Capacity

10:05 - 10:35 - Increasing Sabiha Gökçen International Airport's short-term capacity

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.
