Ataturk opened in 1953 and served as Istanbul's main airport until scheduled flights moved to the new Istanbul Airport in 2019, after which it became the city's business-aviation field.

Multiple runways, the longest around 3,000 metres, handling the largest business jets and cargo aircraft.

Ataturk handles strong business-jet and cargo traffic as Istanbul's dedicated private-aviation airport.

Yes. Ataturk is a 24-hour airport, useful for flexible timing close to the city.

Ataturk is now Istanbul's private jet airport, close to the city centre, with 24-hour operation and a full FBO, free of the scale and distance of the new hub.

Ataturk takes any cabin. A family takes a Citation Latitude; a delegation to Ankara uses a Challenger 350, a short flight time of around one hour; an intercontinental sector suits a Gulfstream G650ER. We match the private jet to the day.

Private jet hire from Istanbul Ataturk is quoted per trip, by aircraft and flight time. A regional hop starts in the lower tens of thousands of dollars; intercontinental heavy jets run much higher. We settle in US dollars, and where you prefer, in euros.

Ataturk operates 24 hours, which helps with tight timing. For long sectors we ask for around four hours to arrange slots, permits, and crew. A regional hop can often be set up the same day with documents and payment ready.

At Istanbul Ataturk you typically arrive through the FBO fifteen to thirty minutes before departure, step through a private lounge, and board directly, no queues and no public concourse. We confirm the exact timing with your final details.

A Gulfstream G650ER carries full luggage for a party of twelve; a midsize takes eight to ten cases. We size the hold at quoting stage for your flight from Istanbul.

Pets travel in the cabin. Turkey sets its own entry rules, with a microchip, a valid rabies vaccination, and a veterinary health certificate; requirements vary by origin. Request the full document checklist for Istanbul Ataturk via WhatsApp.

Chartering a private jet from Istanbul costs from €12,500 for a short super midsize jet hop up to €123,000 for the longest routes on this page, always quoted as one fixed all-in figure. See the full cost guide at flywithandreea.com/private-jet-charter-cost, and message Andreea for a firm figure for your dates.

About EUR 12,500 to EUR 17,000 on a super midsize jet, roughly 2h 29m in the air. The exact figure depends on the date and aircraft positioning; Andreea confirms one fixed all-in price in writing.

As a rule of thumb, EUR 5,600 to 9,400 on a light jet and EUR 9,400 to 12,600 on a midsize, before positioning and handling. A two hour flight from Istanbul covers roughly 1,300 km, city pairs like the routes listed above.

About 3h 07m wheels up to wheels down on a super midsize jet, with boarding at the private terminal taking minutes rather than hours. Timings vary with winds and routing.

For one traveller on a trunk route, first class is usually cheaper. For a family or a team, once you divide the aircraft price by seats and count the hours saved through the private terminal, charter from Istanbul is often closer than people expect, and an empty leg can beat first class outright.

It is never expected and always appreciated. Crews are professionals paid accordingly; if the service was exceptional, a tip or a note to the operator lands equally well. There is no etiquette obligation either way.
