Medellín is served mainly by two airports with distinct roles. José María Córdova International (MDE), located about 35 km southeast of the city in Rionegro, functions as the international and full-service hub—favored by major carriers and many international connections—while Olaya Herrera (EOH) sits much closer, roughly 3 km from downtown, catering largely to domestic and regional flights, often including low-cost and commuter airlines. Ground transport from MDE typically takes 45–60 minutes by taxi or shuttle, with fares varying by operator; public buses and airport shuttles can be cheaper but slower. From EOH a short taxi or local bus ride of 10–20 minutes reaches central neighborhoods at modest cost. Pros: MDE offers more international options and modern facilities; EOH wins on convenience for city access and shorter transfer times. Cons: MDE can involve longer transfers and variable traffic; EOH has limited international service and smaller terminals.
Istanbul is served by two main airports with different roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) functions as the city’s primary international hub, handling long-haul and premium carriers as well as Turkish Airlines’ extensive network; it is typically perceived as mid-to-upper range for fares. Located about 40–50 km from the historic center, travel times can be roughly 35–60 minutes by taxi depending on traffic, or 40–60 minutes by Havaist/shuttle buses with fares usually in the mid-range for airport coaches. Pros: modern facilities and wide connectivity; cons: longer transfer distances and possible heavy traffic en route. Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) operates mainly as a budget and regional gateway on the Asian side, commonly used by low-cost and charter carriers and often offering competitive fares for short- and medium-haul flights. It sits around 35–50 km from central spots like Sultanahmet or Taksim; taxis typically take 45–70 minutes, while HAVABUS and municipal buses take a similar time with lower ticket prices. Pros: generally cheaper flights and less crowded terminals; cons: fewer long-haul connections and longer transfers across the city, especially during peak hours.
