Istanbul is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) is the city’s large international hub, handling most long-haul and premium carriers while offering extensive lounges and connections; it’s located about 40–50 km northwest of the historic center and typically takes 40–60 minutes by car depending on traffic. Ground options include Havaist and IETT buses (roughly 60–120 TRY), airport shuttles, and taxi or rideshare services which can cost noticeably more. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) functions more as a budget- and low-cost-carrier gateway on the Asian side, around 40–50 km from central Sultanahmet with journey times often 50–80 minutes. SAW is usually favored for cheaper fares and some regional routes; transfers are served by Havabus shuttles, municipal buses, and taxis with fares generally lower than premium alternatives but varying with traffic. Pros: IST is typically more connected and comfortable for transfers; SAW can be more affordable but less convenient for central locations. Cons: both airports can be affected by Istanbul traffic and transfer times should be planned conservatively.
Ivato International Airport (TNR) serves Antananarivo as Madagascar’s main international gateway and primary domestic hub, handling both full-service and regional budget carriers. International flights typically arrive here while many domestic connections to coastal and inland destinations also operate from the same terminal. The airport lies about 16 km north of the city center; road transfer by taxi or private car usually takes 30–60 minutes depending on traffic, with fares varying by negotiation and vehicle type. There are limited bus and shuttle options that can be slower but cheaper. Pros: convenient single-hub connectivity and basic passenger facilities; cons: can be crowded and amenities may be more modest than at larger global hubs.
