Minister Adil Karaismailoglu announced the opening date of the Kagithane – Istanbul Airport section of the Gayrettepe – Istanbul Airport metro line. Minister Karaismailoglu, who made a statement on CNN live broadcast said, “Istanbul Airport – Kagithane line will be opened. By the end of November, our target is to open 32 km of the 37.5 km part. We are connecting Sabiha Gokcen and Istanbul Airport. We are approaching step by step to our goal of 1,100 km. Istanbul Airport has the capacity to serve 120 million passengers. This will be one of the fastest subways in the world. A metro line that can do 120 km per hour, travel time will be short since the station is small.
You will be able to reach Taksim from the airport in approximately 30 minutes. We work all over Turkey. The cost of this place is over ₺12 billion. In terms of this construction technique, 10 tunnel boring machines worked simultaneously. Since this is an isolated line and the continuation of Marmaray, we will operate it as the Ministry. We are trying to complete an important part of Halkalı-Istanbul Airport in the first 6 months of next year. It’s a 32 km line. There is a significant population in Kayasehir in Halkali. Besides, we make capillary lines.”
