Istanbul Airport has set a new all-time high for daily passenger traffic at both the Turkish and European levels, a top official said Monday.
Türkiye's largest airport and one of the biggest civil aviation hubs in the world handled 289,732 passengers on Sunday, Transport and Infrastructure Minister Abdulkadir Uraloğlu said.
The hub thus "once again set a new all-time daily passenger record for both Türkiye and Europe," Uraloğlu said in a post on X.
"With the robust transportation infrastructure we have established, we are reinforcing Istanbul's position as a global aviation hub," he noted.
The figure renews the previous peak registered a week ago when Istanbul Airport served 289,260 passengers.
