The planned metro station of the new Istanbul Airport, which has been surrounded in controversy since its official opening over a year ago, will be located 300 meters away from the airport, according to a column by the journalist Fatih Altaylı in the daily Habertürk on Monday.
This was confirmed to Altaylı in a conversation he had with with Kadri Samsunlu, CEO of the IGA firm that runs the airport. Samsunlu acknowledged that the extensive distance was due to a planning error.
