New İstanbul Airport, after completion, will have an anticipated capacity for up to six runways serving 150 million passengers with extendable capacity up to 200 million. 150 airlines will operate from the airport, serving more than 350 international destinations. BIGGEST 181 6 150 PROJECT IN PASSENGER RUNWAYS MILLION THE BRIDGES PASSENGERS WORLD 22 271 BILLION € AURCRAFT INVESTMENT 350 PARKING DESTINATIONS CAPACITY New İstanbul Airport is the only new airport planned and being constructed in Europe. With the superior geographical location of Turkey and the added traffic that the new airport will bring to the region, it is obvious that Istanbul will be the most important international aviation hub in Europe. This projection has been the main factor behind both Turkish Airlines and other private Turkish airliners setting up their strategies on expanding their regional destinations to adequately feed their international network. Reference: Turkish Airlines Annual Report 2014 – Target 2023 FIRST TURKISH REGIONAL AIRCRAFT TRJET Turkish Regional Aircraft Project will utilize a modernized version of the Dornier 328, the TRJ328, as a stepping stone toward production of the Republic of Turkey's first domestically-designed and produced passenger aircraft, the TRJ628 concept aircraft. The Republic of Turkey, with technology transfer, will capitalize on Dornier's legacy of innovation dating back almost to the start of commercial aviation, to support the growth of Turkey's existing civil aviation industry, as well as to open the country to the global aviation market.

Iranian government has announced that, the renovation of the İran's operational airports and the new airport construction projects, all together will make Iran a very important hub in the Region, in 20 years time. Iran's largest airport development project, the upgrade of Tehran İmam Khomeini International Airport (IKIA) gives an indication of the issue. In 2014 IKIA handled 6.5 million passengers. The plan 30 is to increase this number to 35 million in 2020 BILLION $ and 90 million in 2030.

Previously; providing a service for Istanbul, Atatürk Airport had a limited capacity in terms of air transportation resulting in a mostly ineffective use of time and resources. Thus; this study points out how İstanbul Airport solves the problems experienced previously problems with the expectations of being a solid contender for Turkey in today’s modern aviation. In this paper, a brief explanation of how aviation reached its current place is given and numerical data are provided to further clarify the enormous growth of civil aviation both for Turkey and globally. Subsequently, the role of Istanbul Airport for Turkish civil aviation has been explained in depth. In the light of this information, strengths and weaknesses are identified first, and then opportunities and weaknesses are presented (SWOT analysis) specifically for Istanbul Airport. In the final part of this paper, the importance of new applications through aviation systems has been evaluated briefly to better understand how it positively effects companies, air traffic control units and how it shapes the future of air transportation systems.

High impact of liberalization in the air transportation markets has been affecting the market of Turkey as well as USA and EU. Moreover, it is one of the industries that have survived from the global financial crises which is also critical from the competition based strategies. In this study, the relation between the GDP and the air freight traffic of Turkey has been analyzed by using an econometric model. As a result, it has been found that there is a statistically significant relationship between those parameters Keywords: Air transportation, Logistics, GDP, Economic Utility, Regression Analysis, Airline Freight 1.

PREFACE In 1944 the Graduate School of Business Administration of Harvard University established within Baker Library a Collection on the Busi- ness Aspects of Aviation. The goal set was to aid aviation research and to provide extensive reference sources for all concerned. The Collec- tion was housed in a separate room with a special librarian in charge. Since that time, through the generous support of the aviation industry and friends of the School, particularly Mr. W. A. M. Burden, the Collection has continued to grow and its services have been expanded. Early in the development of this newest division of Baker Library the decision was made to create within it a center of bibliographic information - one place which would list the holdings in the field of business aspects of aviation of all Harvard Libraries (some 85 in number).

  • Transport in Turkey - Major Trends and Issues
    Briefing TRANSPORT IN TURKEY - MAJOR TRENDS AND ISSUES This overview of the current situation and trends in the Turkish transport sector was prepared to provide information to the Parliamentary Delegation to Turkey (7-9 April 2015). 1. Overview The transport sector in Turkey1 is expanding rapidly2, in parallel with the country's strong economic3 and population4 growth. Air transport perfectly illustrates this trend: Istanbul is becoming one of the major hub airports in the world, while Turkish Airlines has emerged as the most profitable European airline in some years. However, efficiency and productivity are still far from EU standards, especially in the case of rail and port services. Above all, infrastructure has far to go to be at the right level and is unable to absorb additional traffic - despite some spectacular works, like the third 'Bosphorus Bridge' to be open by the end of this year5. The Turkish government is therefore engaged in an ambitious plan to develop transport infrastructure by 2023 (the country's centennial year). Thus, 14 000 km new railways and 5 300 km new motorways should be built by then, not to mention the largest airport in the world and a 50 km long waterway between the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara, among others. Consequently, there is a huge need for funding that cannot be answered by the national budget6. Law has therefore been adapted to incentivise private investment, including foreign private investment, which is to provide most of the financing. Private companies are sought to build/operate infrastructure, and operate transport services. It is worth remembering the high dependence of the country on foreign finance which is one of its main weaknesses.
