Operations at new Istanbul airport to be delayed by two months

Istanbul New Airport
Istanbul’s new airport was expected to open before the end of this month.
Most airlines have details on their web pages to that effect. British Airways, for instance, details the move on October 29.
But reports from Germany today suggest this will not now happen.
Although there will be an inauguration ceremony to coincide with Turkey’s National Day on October 29, it is reported flight operations will not commence until the end of this year or until the beginning of January.
Germany’s Handelsblatt says that the government will be compensating the various airport businesses for the loss of revenue until the new facility eventually opens.
The airport’s construction company IGA was reported as saying more information would be released today.

Rinviare di due mesi vuol dire aprire nel periodo di punta natalizio e considerati gli inevitabili problemi di rodaggio di un nuovo aeroporto sarebbe meglio rinviare a gennaio dopo le feste in modo da partire in un periodo piu soft.
