• We just say that Turkey's big picture. These large projects will complement this photo. It is going to be the biggest airport in the world. It will serve approximately 90 million passengers a year. Airport alone does not make sense. Every plane landing at the airport creates added value for your country, every passenger and the shopping they do. That's why it's so important. 16 thousand people are currently working. This number will increase. He works 3 shifts. They work 24 hours. 30 thousand people will work next year. There is a very serious study. Over 3 thousand heavy machines are in operation. While we were describing that airport, we emphasized the following feature.
• Such a cash crisis when the airport in the world to be able to finance an indicator of confidence in Turkey now. Everyone should know that there are no problems with Istanbul 3rd airport. The work is going as we predicted. We will open the first phase in the first quarter of 2018, and our people will benefit from this as added value. The full capacity operation of the airport will be completed 2-3 years after the city opening. The first stage will reach 90 million passengers and 200 million at the end. We will increase it gradually, so there will be no idle capacity.
