Istanbul’s airports serve distinct roles: Istanbul Airport (IST) is the city’s main international hub handling long-haul carriers and full-service airlines, while Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) typically caters to low-cost and regional operators. IST sits roughly 40–50 km northwest of the historic center; journey times can range from about 40–60 minutes by taxi or airport shuttle and around 45–75 minutes by Havaş or public bus (fares vary by service). SAW is located on the Asian side, about 35–45 km from central areas with transfers usually taking 45–70 minutes. Pros: IST offers extensive international connections and modern facilities; SAW can be cheaper and less congested for budget carriers. Cons: both airports can involve long transfers to the city during peak traffic and fares depend on chosen transport mode.
