Istanbul Airport

The number of flights operated from Istanbul Airport reached 1,684 on Sunday, breaking the record of 1,624 set by Frankfurt Airport on September 11, 2019, the European Organization for the Safety of Air Navigation (Eurocontrol) said on Monday.

According to the watchdog, the hub, which already enjoys the status of the busiest in Europe, saw a 12% increase in daily traffic as football fans were returning home after attending the 2023 Champions League final in Istanbul.

Eurocontrol also recorded an increase in daily flows to the home cities of the Champions League finalists. Traffic at Milan Malpensa Airport, the largest international airport in northern Italy, increased by 54% week on week. Meanwhile, Manchester Airport saw a relatively modest 5% increase in its daily traffic.

The three previous daily arrival-departure records at a European airport were all set in quick succession in 2019 before the pandemic, according to Eurocontrol.

"The previous record was held by Frankfurt, surpassing, in less than a month, Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (1,612 daily flights on August 26, 2019), which in turn replaced Madrid Barajas (1,600 daily flights on June 2 2019)", she added.

Last month, Turkish Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Adil Karaismailoglu reported that Istanbul Airport broke a new record in the number of daily flights and passenger flow. As of April 30, it handled 195,640 passengers on 1,301 flights.

Opened four and a half years ago, Istanbul's new airport is the larger of two international hubs serving the city. It replaced the old Ataturk Airport and has developed into a modern, busy air facility connecting Europe and Asia.

The center serves as the base of operations for Star Alliance Turkish Airlines. On May 6, the airport announced that it had served over 200 million passengers.
