Ataturk Airport status

ISL has no scheduled passenger flights

Istanbul Ataturk Airport closed to commercial passenger traffic on 6 April 2019. Today ISL serves cargo, business and private aviation, and state flights only. If you booked a ticket with an airline, you are not flying to ISL.

Flying on a scheduled airline?

Your flight lands at Istanbul Airport (IST) or Sabiha Gokcen (SAW). We meet you at both.

Arriving by private jet?

You are in the right place. We handle General Aviation Terminal arrivals at ISL, and the Jetex VIP terminal at Istanbul Airport.

An Ataturk Airport meet and greet service is a highly specialized and discreet hospitality solution tailored for the unique environment of private and general aviation. As Ataturk Airport (ISL) has transitioned into an exclusive hub for private jet owners, diplomatic missions, and top-tier corporate leaders, our airport vip service has evolved to provide an unparalleled level of privacy, efficiency, and personal care. This is a comprehensive meet and greet service where every detail is meticulously planned and flawlessly executed, ensuring a seamless transition between your aircraft and your ground transportation, completely shielded from the public eye and the complexities of a commercial terminal.

The Private Aviation Standard: Discretion and Efficiency

Travel through a General Aviation Terminal (GAT) operates on a different set of principles than a standard commercial airport. The priorities are absolute privacy, clinical speed, and seamless, invisible coordination. Our service is built around these core tenets. A personal assistant, rigorously trained in diplomatic protocol and the subtle nuances of private travel, becomes your single, trusted point of contact. They orchestrate a flawless journey that profoundly respects your time, your security, and your fundamental need for confidentiality. This is not just a service; it is a commitment to operational excellence.

The Elements of an Exclusive GAT Experience

A suite of services designed for the unique demands of private aviation.

Personal Assistant Service

Your dedicated agent is a discreet extension of your own team. They offer protocol-aware support, manage all sensitive documentation with care, and coordinate invisibly with your flight crew and ground transport to ensure perfect timing.

Private Fast Track Service

All immigration and customs formalities are handled immediately and privately within the secure confines of the General Aviation Terminal, completely bypassing public terminals, queues, and unwanted attention.

Tarmac Transfer Service

Enjoy direct, private luxury vehicle transfers between the steps of your aircraft and the General Aviation Terminal entrance, guaranteeing maximum privacy, security, and speed from the moment of touchdown.

Private Lounge Service

Utilize the exclusive, secure, and private lounges within the GAT. These are not public spaces; they are controlled environments ideal for a quiet moment of rest, a confidential pre-flight briefing, or focused work.

The Ataturk Airport Arrival Protocol: A Symphony of Discretion

Our service is a meticulously planned and flawlessly executed operation. Upon your private jet's arrival at Ataturk Airport, your personal agent and a luxury vehicle will be waiting on the tarmac as the aircraft doors open. You will be escorted directly into the vehicle for a swift, private transfer to the General Aviation Terminal. Within this secure facility, immigration and customs formalities are handled immediately in a private lounge, entirely away from any public view or interaction. Meanwhile, your luggage is personally collected from the aircraft and brought directly to you. Finally, your agent ensures a seamless, perfectly timed handover to your chauffeured vehicle, which will be waiting just steps from the private terminal exit. The entire process, from touchdown to departure from the airport, can be completed in a matter of minutes, offering an unparalleled standard of efficiency and absolute privacy.

The Result: The Ultimate in Private Travel
