On completion, the goal is to host over 200 million airports per year. The airport swiftly took over all the major airlines that operated in the Ataturk Airport and began operating only from the new Istanbul airport.

Another affordable alternative to getting a taxi to go from Istanbul Airport to Blue Mosque by bus. The bus or shuttle service is widely popular because of its low costs. The Municipal Public Bus does not cover this route. Instead private bus operators, namely HAVAIST and IETT, both under Otobus AS take tourists to and from the airport. These shuttles receive payment either from the credit card or an Istanbulkart, a smart cart that can easily be topped up. This can be easily acquired at the airport itself. Shuttle HVIST-12 operates between the airport and Blue mosque. These buses are available every half an hour and operate 24×7. One ride can take up to 46-50 passengers comfortably with them depending on the shuttle size.
It takes up to 2 hours to take you from Istanbul airport to the Blue Mosque by bus. But the journey on these shuttles or buses can get tiresome as these have multiple stops and usually take a longer route covering various hotels and other stops for drop-offs. You are most likely to have a long wait to get to your point. These can also be adventurous as they give you a glimpse of the city very quickly. This will only cost you around 3 – 4 euros on a one-way ride.

The new Istanbul airport to Blue Mosque by metro is a mode that is still under development. By the end of 2021, the M11 metro line will be in service of this airport connecting it to the rest of the city centres. This metro will go on to connect with the M2 line as well which will allow travellers to go on into the commercial and the tourist centre of the city as well. For travelling further into the city one can easily pick up a tram that connects the internal parts as well.
Metro commuting can create cheaper transportation for tourists. Not only will the metro be a price-efficient option but will also undeniably reduce travel time. The only issue with this will be the unavailability of doorstep delivery. Tourists will still have to find some way to take them to their exact destination.
