The 34-kilometer metro line is said to be the city’s first rail link to Turkey’s largest airport. Also, according to Turkish Transport and Infrastructure Minister Adil Karaismailoğlu, the new metro line will be the fastest in Europe with a speed of up to 120 km/h.
It is worth noting that according to experts, the capacity of the line is 800,000 passengers per day. At the same time, the speed of the trains will make it possible to reach the airport from Kegithane (Istanbul district) in just 24 minutes.
Turkey is also expected to connect Istanbul and Ankara with a high-speed train line.
