Construction of Istanbul Airport began in 2014 and took four years to complete. Most of its 19,000-acre (7,600-hectare) footprint was previously state-owned forest and some 658,000 trees were cleared to make way for its construction. The facility has an annual passenger capacity of 90 million people.
