Istanbul Airport Aviation Fuel Hydrant System

• Istanbul Airport, the greatest project in the history of the Republic, will be constructed over an area of 76,5 million square meters to the north of Istanbul, in 35 km distance to the city center. The construction will be carried out in four phases. The first phase opened on 29h October 2018 with the opening of three runways and a terminal with 90 million passenger capacity.
