President of Türkiye Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Sunday inaugurated Istanbul’s new high-speed metro line “Kagithane-Istanbul Airport” which is the fastest metro line in Europe so far.
Addressing the inauguration ceremony, Erdogan said that thanks to the Kagithane-Istanbul Airport Metro Line with a capacity of 800,000 passengers per day, it is now possible to reach Istanbul Airport from Kagithane, the first station of new metro line in 24 minutes.
Istanbul Airport, which was officially declared open in late October 2018 before becoming fully operational in April 2019, is dubbed the busiest airport in Europe with an average of 1,156 daily flights last year.
As a reminder, the Istanbul airport metro will be free for 1 month.
