Kadri Samsunlu, CEO and Chairman of the Executive Board at iGA Airport Operations, said: “Our first goal for Istanbul Airport is to carry this unique structure beyond a travel point and turn the travel of our guests into an unforgettable experience. In line with this goal, we are planning each detail in order for all of our guests to leave the airport with the highest satisfaction from the point they step into the airport.” 

Samsunlu added: ”iGA PASS is not a regular membership programme, it is a combination of services completing one another and making the whole travel process a privileged experience… iGA PASS, which our passengers will not find at any other airport, will turn their travels into an enjoyable experience, and it contains Lounge, Buggy, Fast-Track, and Meet and Greet services. We claim that this airport is the biggest airport in the world but more importantly, it is the one that provides the best service. We see iGA PASS as a differentiating element at this point. Our special passenger program will serve the new generation travel concept. iGA PASS will turn air travels into an enjoyable, relaxing, and fun experience rather than time spent to reach one point from another. May iGA PASS be auspicious for our airport, Istanbul, and all our guests.”
