🗺️ Getting to Istanbul
If you require additional assistance, make sure you inform your airline in advance of the kind of support you need.
Visit the airport’s dedicated accessibility section for information on services available on arrival and departure. It is best to do this at least 48 hours before you start your journey to allow plenty of time for arrangements to be made.
Getting to the city centre
Free airport shuttles (with accessible spaces) to the city centre will operate on Tuesday 19 and Wednesday 20 May.
⚠️ If arriving by commercial flight on matchday, you should plan to land no later than 15:00 local time. Travel times within the city can be longer than expected, so plan ahead to ensure you don’t miss kick-off.
