Photo Comment

Surprisingly, it appears that this is the first upload for the vast new Istanbul Airport, built in just four years and opened in 2018 to take over from Atatürk. Much rare traffic can be seen, more than at the old airport, particularly from Libya, Iran and controversially Russia, with some fueling companies still prepared to supply several Russian airlines carrying tourists. Thanks to sanctions meaning stolen western types are likely to be seized outside of Russia, much reliance is being placed on the homegrown SSJ, this one arriving here as WZ1903 from Stavropol and departing to Makhachkala.
