and to add confusion to the above, the "newly refurbished" Hilton that IST is referring to, is still referred to by many locals as the "Movenpick" despite the fact that it has not been a Movenpick for at least 15 years, and should not be confused with the current Movempick that he refers to in 4. Levent.

Also, it is my understanding that as there are essentially no hotels around the new airport, but a ton around the old airport, that for IRROPS, TK is going to continue to send passengers to the hotels around the 'old" airport for several years, TK has also been "encouraged" to do this by certain parties so as to not bankrupt those hotels............
