- Airport hours, customs, slots and restrictions must be confirmed with the airport. Runway length alone does not establish operational suitability.

Since scheduled airlines moved to Istanbul Airport in 2019, Atatürk has been Istanbul's dedicated business-aviation and state airport, with a General Aviation Terminal, several FBOs and no airline congestion. Around 35 minutes to Levent and Taksim on the European side. Fastest CIQ in the city.
