The Istanbul Airshow turns 22 years-old this year. Although the show is young, it provides the aviation industry with the unique chance to reach the Eurasian airports and aviation markets.
This show is the main biennial event that covers Turkey, the Balkans, the Middle East, CIS Republics, and extends to the Turkish Republics, as well as Central Asia. This show is made even more unique by being the only “civil only” airshow in the region and amongst one of the very few in the world.
Turkey stepped into the era of restructuring and investing earlier than most nations in its region. By doing so, the country sets a benchmark for the aviation market within Eurasia and the Middle East.
The event planners draw inspiration from the pivotal role the country plays by designing a one-of-a-kind airshow. The aim is to establish a business platform that is concentrated on civil aviation – how to serve, contribute, and meet the challenges affecting these markets?
As usual, the show will attract the big names from the aviation industry and, of course, Jetex – where we look forward to presenting the HondaJet Elite after being appointed as HondaJet Middle East!
The 4-day event is being held at the Istanbul Ataturk Airport, with the show’s gates opening on September 27th and closing on September 30th. The opening times will be:
September 27th, 2018
1:00 P.M – 3:00 P.M
September 28th, 2018
10:00 A.M – 6:00 P.M

An alternative to IST would be the Sabiha Gökҫen International Airport [IATA: SAW, ICAO: LTFJ]. This airport is Istanbul’s second international airport and has a dedicated private jet terminal.
