The biggest airport in the world will be bulid in Istanbul/Turkey. Istanbul stampft größten Flughafen der Welt aus Boden. İstanbul New Airport (Turkish: İstanbul Yeni Havalimanı) is a projected airport to be built in Arnavutköy district of İstanbul, Turkey. The airport is planned to be the largest airport in the world, with 150 million passenger capacity - 60 million more than Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, currently the busiest in the world- , due to lack of capacity in the existing airports of Istanbul.[1] It will be the third international airport to be built in Istanbul. The airport will be built in four stages. The first will be completed in 2017, after which it will be operational with an annual capacity of 90 million, according to Turkey’s transport minister, Binali Yildirim. “It is obvious a new airport is needed,” he said, adding that the plans would help boost the country’s bid for the 2020 Olympics. Currently Istanbul has two airports, Ataturk, which handles around 45 million passengers a year, and Sabiha, which handles 15 million.
