President Erdoğan Opens Final Section of 69-Kilometer Istanbul Airport Metro Line

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has officially inaugurated the concluding 22-kilometer section of the Gayrettepe–Istanbul Airport–Halkalı metro line. The newly launched extension incorporates five new stations, successfully completing a 69-kilometer fully underground rail ring that services the international airport. The infrastructure project integrates several key metropolitan transit systems, including the Marmaray network, and reduces transit time between the Halkalı railway hub and Istanbul Airport to 30 minutes, aiming to mitigate vehicular traffic congestion across the European side of the city.
