So.... please don't trash me, but I just need to ask....... I was chatting yesterday in Istanbul with my friend who lives there and he told me that many planes will be transported to INA over the roads. I was like "whaaat? I did not hear that??!", but he was convinced. I tried to search around on web, could not find any reference to moving the planes over to INA over ground. Is he crazy? And me, for even considering that?

“One month before the grand opening, on September 28, the second phase training for employees of airlines, ground services, and other relevant companies will take place. As part of the ORAT (Operational Readiness and Airport Transfer) process, 28,200 people will receive field training that covers familiarisation with the airside, terminal, and luggage services, including ramp licenses. If classroom-based training is included, nearly 53,000 people will have been trained.”

This Trade Arabia isn't even aware that there's no more of a political position as "Prime Ministry" in this country since June 24th.
For the worse, they indirectly indicate that the opening ceremony will not be attended by President Erdogan, which can only be possible if he will either pass away or may be in fully decapacitied position (in the medical sense) at the given date. Great fortune tellers, future readers, you Trade Arabia!

Yıldırım Bilali is past, and TAV in Istanbul Atatürk will also be past in few weeks...

First: Atatürk Airport will not cease to exist in a couple of weeks, because:
1) All-cargo operations will have to be carried out from Atatürk, as INA will not be ready for these. (I estimate a minimum of 6 months, after the alleged opening date on 29th. October)
2) Turkish Technic's maintenance base will remain at Atatürk for an even longer period, until THY's facilities at the New Airport can be finished: best estimated date, mid to end of 2020.
3) TAV will remain at Atatürk Airport at least until their contracts' expiry date (Jan 2020), because they are also handling the General Aviation Terminal over there and IGA currently has no solid plans to accomodate a General Aviation Terminal at INA for some unknown period of time.
I have some other pre-mature predictions about TAV's presence in Istanbul, but I'd rather not quote these here, at the moment!

Sedat, I suggest that you do what you are good at: copy-pasting images from Instagram and other social media sources and post them here!

ÜÇÜNCÜ HAVALİMANI 29 EKİM’DE AÇILACAK
İstanbul 3’üncü Havalimanı’nın açılışı ve işletmecisi oldukları İstanbul Yeşilköy Havalimanı’nın ne olacağı yönündeki soruları da yanıtlayan Sani Şener, “Üçüncü Havalimanı için açık, şeffaf bir ihale yapıldı. Açık artırmayla yapıldı, ancak 1 milyar Euro yıllık kira ödemek bize çok pahalı geldi. Onun için biz çekildik. Alan arkadaşlarımız şu anda devam ediyor. 29 Ekim’de açılacak. Açılınca Atatürk Havalimanı kapanacak. Ama bizim 2021 yılına kadar süremiz var. Ama yüzde 25 artı KDV’yi yani 800 milyon doları biz 2007’de peşin ödediğimiz için iki yıllık kaybımızı devlet karşılıyor. Onu ihaleden önce bize bildirdiler zaten. Onun için yapacak bir şey yok zaten.

In the video(s) and other photos you will mostly (if not only) see "finished" quarters from B-Gates (PB3 Pier), because the rest are still under construction and installation. Many things are indeed finished, but not all...
