The countdown has started for the Gayrettepe-Istanbul Airport metro, which was built to provide transportation to Istanbul Airport from the city centre, to be put into service. The authority has shared the names of the stations Istanbul Airport Metro will stop.
There are days left to open the metro line that will connect Istanbul Airport, one of the most important airports in the world, to the city centre.
The foundation of the giant project was laid in 2016, and thankfully the construction has been completed. The concerned announcement has come from the Minister of Transport and Infrastructure.
