Located at the crossroads of East and West, Istanbul offers easy air connections and is served by more than 300 airlines from hundreds of cities around the world. Istanbul is serving with two airports; new Istanbul International Airport and Sabiha Gokcen International Airport with a capacity of far over 50 million travelers per year. Handling 95,000 - 100,000 passangers and 900 - 950 aircraft each day, Istanbul Atatürk Airport was awarded as "Europe's Most Comfortable International Terminal" in 2002, "The Most Secure Airport in the Middle East and the Balkans" in 2001 and "Highly Commended” in 2007.
