Istanbul is Türkiye's aviation hub and one of the world's most layered cities. Sultanahmet stacks Byzantine on Ottoman, the Bosphorus splits two worlds, Karaköy and Kadıköy hum with modern energy, the Princes' Islands keep horse-cart pace. Turkish Airlines, Pegasus, AJet, SunExpress, Corendon and other Turkish carriers connect Istanbul to every major Turkish city and 245+ international destinations. IST (the new airport) and SAW (Sabiha Gökçen) are the two main hubs.
