'''Sabiha Gökçen International Airport''' {{Airport codes|SAW|LTFJ}} is one of the two [[international airport]]s serving [[İstanbul]], [[Turkey]]. The facility is named after [[Sabiha Gökçen]], the first female combat [[aviator|pilot]] in Turkey. Located {{convert|35|km|abbr=on}} southeast<ref name="AIP"/> of central İstanbul, it is on the [[Asia]]n side of the bi-continental city and serves as the hub for [[Pegasus Airlines]] as well as a base for [[Turkish Airlines]] and [[Borajet]].
==Overview==
The airport was built because [[Atatürk International Airport]] (on the [[Europe]]an side) was not large enough to meet the booming passenger demands (both domestic and international). In June 2007, Turkish conglomerate [[Limak Holding]], India's [[GMR Group]] and [[Malaysia Airports|Malaysia Airport Holding Berhad]] (MAHB) consortium gained the contract for upgrading and maintaining the airport. In mid-2008, ground was broken to upgrade the international terminal to handle 25 million passengers annually. The new terminal was inaugurated on 31 October 2009.
SAW's international terminal capacity originally was 3 million passengers per year and the domestic terminal capacity was 0.5 million passengers per year. In 2010, Sabiha Gökçen airport handled 11,129,472 passengers, a 71% increase compared to 2009.<ref>[http://www.dhmi.gov.tr/getBinaryFile.aspx?Type=13&dosyaID=3&IstatistikID=40 2010 airport statistics].

The main airport complex is easily reachable by car from the [[European route E80|E80 (Trans-European Motorway)]] which passes through the Istanbul Metropolitan Area, and is served by the following public bus lines:
*KM22 – ISG International Airport – [[Kartal|Kartal Metro Station]] ''(transfer for [[Istanbul Metro]] line [[M4 (İstanbul Metro)|M4]])''. The quickest way to reach [[Istanbul Metro]].
*E3 – ISG International Airport – 4.Levent ''(transfer for [[Istanbul Metro]])''
*E9 – ISG International Airport – Bostancı
*E10,E11 – ISG International Airport – Kurtköy – Kadıköy ''(transfer for [[Haydarpaşa Terminal|Haydarpaşa Station]] and [[İDO]] ferry services to [[Eminönü]] and [[Karaköy]])
*16S – ISG International Airport – Yenişehir – Kozyatağı- Metrobüs Uzunçayır (transfer to [[Metrobus (Istanbul)|Metrobüs]])
*18H – ISG International Airport – Sultanbeyli
*130H – ISG International Airport – Tuzla
*132 – Kartal – Tepeören
HAVAŞ shuttle services have been stopped in Greater Istanbul Metropolitan Area.<ref name=havasStopped>{{cite web|title=HAVAŞ passenger transportation services have been stopped|url=http://www.sabihagokcen.aero/havas_shuttle|accessdate=8 July 2012}}</ref> However, it is still possible to use this service from the city of [[İzmit]].
The shuttle services are operated by HAVATAŞ after stopped HAVAŞ operation. The busses go to [[Taksim Square|Taksim]] and [[Kadikoy]] from the airport.<ref>http://www.havatas.com/en/coach.aspx</ref>
AKMIS SEYAHAT Agency City Busses have schedule services nearly cities which are [[Bursa]], [[İzmit|Kocaeli]] and [[Sakarya Province|Sakarya]]. The Agency have an agreement with [[Pegasus Airlines]] which is to use Airline Logo their Vehicle Covering.
The bus lines listed above are often much more comfortable option than using [[Metrobus (Istanbul)|Metrobüs]]. Metrobüs vehicles are almost always overcrowded and have very limited space to host one's luggage. Regardless, if one really would like to use Metrobüs, then there are transfer options from bus line E-10/E-11 in Uzunçayır stop or using [[M4 (İstanbul Metro)|M4 metro line]] to the Kartal station and from there, using KM22 buses to the airport.
In addition to this, the airport is located just 14 km from the town of [[Pendik]]'s railway and sea-taxi stations. Moreover the [[M4 (Istanbul Metro)|M4 metro line]] is currently being extended towards the airport and a connection with [[Marmaray]] is planned. Taxis are also a common means of transport at the airport and there is a large rental-car facility.

The airport was built because [[Atatürk International Airport]] (on the [[Europe]]an side) was not large enough to meet the booming passenger demands (both domestic and international). In June 2007, Turkish conglomerate [[Limak Holding]], India's [[GMR Group]] and [[Malaysia Airports|Malaysia Airport Holding Berhad]] (MAHB) consortium gained the contract for upgrading and maintaining the airport. In mid-2008, ground was broken to upgrade the international terminal to handle 25 million passengers annually. The new terminal was inaugurated on 31 October 2009.
SAW's international terminal capacity originally was 3 million passengers per year and the domestic terminal capacity was 0.5 million passengers per year.

==Ground transport==
Sabiha Gökçen International Airport is connected to the city of [[Istanbul]] and that city's wider metropolitan area through a number of transport corridors.
===Rail===
The airport is located 14 km from the town of [[Pendik]]'s railway and sea-taxi stations but a connection via [[Marmaray]] is planned.
===Metro===
The [[M4 (Istanbul Metro)|M4 metro line]] is being extended towards the airport. The current terminus at Kartal can be reached by a short bus or taxi ride.
===Shuttlebuses and coaches===
Shuttlebuses serve [[Taksim Square|Taksim]] and [[Kadikoy]] and there are coaches to nearby towns and cities.
===Car and taxi===
The main airport complex is easily reachable by car from the [[European route E80|E80 (Trans-European Motorway)]] which passes through the Istanbul Metropolitan Area.
==Accidents and incidents==
*On 23 December 2015 at approximately 2:00 AM, explosions were reported to have occurred in a parked [[Pegasus Airlines]] aircraft, killing one cleaner and wounding another inside the plane. Five nearby planes were reported to be damaged as well. The operations were reported to continue normally soon after, however with heightened security measured in place.<ref>http://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-turkey-airport-blast-idUKKBN0U60DQ20151223</ref> Three days later, it was reported that "PKK-affiliated terrorist group". [[Kurdistan Freedom Falcons]] had organized the attack.<ref>http://www.dailysabah.com/nation/2015/12/26/pkk-affiliated-terrorist-group-claims-responsibility-for-istanbul-airport-attack</ref>
