Istanbul Airport will 'emerge stronger from the crisis as a major hub': CEO

15 February, 2021

IGA Istanbul Airport CEO Kadri Samsunlu said the opening of Istanbul Airport just prior to the COVID-19 crisis was a "huge disadvantage" as "huge investments" were made in the airport and the airport has to make a profit in order to be able to repay the money borrowed for construction (aeroTELEGRPAH, 15-Feb-2021). He said he still believes that Istanbul Airport will "emerge stronger from the crisis as a major hub".
