Istanbul/Ataturk Airport (LTBA)

GA handling is mandatory, with all providers similarly priced; Gözenair is commonly used and offers helpful flight planning support and hotel arrangements. Expect high total fees. Example: total charges about €420. ATC service is professional and ICAO-compliant, with efficient IFR sequencing among airline traffic. GA parking is west of runway 18R, often requiring a long taxi after landing. Avgas delivery to parking is prompt. Transport to the city by taxi takes about 30 minutes and costs around €30. On departure, taxi drivers may have difficulty finding the GAT; contacting Gözenair for assistance is recommended. Billing can be slow and may differ from initial quotes, so keep documentation and be prepared to negotiate if needed. Entry procedures involve standard bureaucracy but are straightforward.
