Istanbul to unveil new airport, seeks to be world’s biggest

Istanbul New Airport, on shores of the Black Sea, will serve 90 million passengers annually in its first phase.

At its completion in ten years, it will occupy nearly 19,000 acres and serve up to 200 million travellers a year with six runways.

That’s almost double the traffic at world’s biggest airport currently, Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson.
