Jetex and iGA Istanbul Airport have announced the Jetex iGA Terminal.
Opening ceremony attendees included H.E. Abdulkadir Uraloğlu, minister of transport and infrastructure of the Republic of Türkiye; Cemal Kalyoncu, chair of the board of iGA; Selahattin Bilgen, CEO of iGA; Adel Mardini, founder and CEO of Jetex.
Speaking at the ceremony, Kalyoncu said “One of the greatest projects in the history of the Turkish Republic, iGA Istanbul Airport has risen to become the hub of global aviation — serving over 140 countries and 340+ destinations following a record-breaking construction period of just 42 months. Designed not merely as an airport but as a legacy for future generations, this landmark project contributes significantly to our nation’s economy, tourism, and international trade, while standing as the most tangible proof that Türkiye is an island of stability and a safe harbor in an uncertain world. With passenger capacity expanding to 120 million, a fourth runway set to open in the second half of the year, ongoing hotel investments, and the inauguration of the JETEX-iGA General Aviation Terminal today, iGA Istanbul Airport is firmly committed to becoming the world’s premier destination in private aviation as well.”
Mardini also expressed his feelings towards the terminal: “We are thrilled to expand our global network with the launch of Jetex Istanbul alongside our valued partner iGA. Istanbul is a multicultural hub where thousands of years of history and culture blend with youthful, dynamic energy. We have put tremendous effort into crafting a state-of-the-art experience for both private jet and commercial airline travelers, and we look forward to welcoming the world here with award-winning Jetex hospitality.”
The terminal intends to welcome international commercial airline passengers and private jet travellers with a view to driving growth in tourism and business mobility.
