The Istanbul Airport welcomed 30 million air passengers as of today, Turkey's transport and infrastructure minister said on Sept. 6.

The number of new destinations from Istanbul Airport is expected to reach 10 until the end of this year, Cahit Turhan said.

Istanbul Airport, whose first phase officially opened in October 2018, took over air traffic from the former main Atatürk Airport on April 6.
