&M is implementing network cabling
for the new Istanbul Airport, the largest
airport in the world, for IGA. Here we
ask Suleyman Tokmak, Managing Director,
R&M Turkey, questions about the project.
Can you share details about the
new Istanbul Airport and R&M’s
involvement in this project?
Istanbul New Airport will be constructed over
an area of 76.5 million square metres to the
north of Istanbul and will be completed in
four phases. The first phase will be finalised
in 2018 with the opening of two runways
and a terminal with a 90 million passenger
capacity. Once complete, the new airport will
host flights to more than 350 destinations
with an annual passenger capacity of up to
200 million.

New Airport will have six active runways, 250
aircraft slots and parking facilities for 25,000

and the Middle East.
