48 Hours in Istanbul

[Danseaman]

Sorry for what is probably a long post but it's hard to narrow down more than this. 48 hours at the new Istanbul Airport last September yielded several new airlines for me. Here's a small selection the full album is here https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjAdaXv

Brilliant selection of airlines there - great shots too!

Lovely photos from a very interesting location.

But that is a dodgy group of sanctions busting airlines that are still allowed there. How many of those airlines are still supported by the Original Equipment Manufacturer and what is the quality of the smuggled parts that manage to keep them in the air.

Great set. Haven't been back to Istanbul since they moved the airport but it looks like you found some great vantage points.

Fabulous selection of liveries we don't often see. Great to see the older Airbus types too.
