I am connecting at Istanbul Sabina Gokcen (SAW) .

I am flying business class from Canada to Israel on the following itinerary: YYC-FRA-SAW-TLV

YYC-FRA on AC
FRA-SAW on TK
SAW-TLV on TK/

As I am not familiar with SAW, I need info about transiting SAW.
Is FRA-SAW and SAW-TLV considered international to international connection and exempt from a visa?

Directions to connect at SAW would also be appreciated.

Thank you
