VFR approach routes for Istanbul are essential and available free via Autorouter. Flying with a flight plan is mandatory. The airport operates professionally and offers only Avgas 100LL and Jet-A1, with no card payments accepted—bring Turkish Lira cash. Example: landing fee about €110 for up to 1.2t MTOW. Handling is required, with advance document submission and additional paperwork at customs and airport police on arrival and departure. Car rental is available in town at low cost, with about one hour’s drive to Istanbul city center. Technical support for minor repairs is present, mainly serving the local flight school. Procedures can be slow on the ground; plan for extended transit times. For handling or fuel, prior arrangement with local agents such as GözenAir or on-field contacts is recommended.
