Istanbul is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) is the newer, international hub handling most long-haul and full-service carriers; it’s positioned northwest of the city, roughly 35–50 km from central districts depending on traffic. Transfer options include Havaist and IETT buses (around 60–90 minutes, fares typically modest), taxis (75–120 minutes, higher fares) and a growing rail link that can shorten journeys. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) on the Asian side tends to host low-cost and regional airlines and is about 40–60 km from central European neighborhoods; buses and airport shuttles usually take 60–90 minutes, with taxis faster but costlier. IST offers wider international connectivity and modern facilities; SAW can be cheaper for budget flights but may mean longer transfers to some central areas.
