==Overview==
The airport was built because [[Atatürk International Airport]] (located on the [[Europe]]an side) was not large enough to meet the booming passenger demands (both domestic and international). In June 2007, Turkish conglomerate [[Limak Holding]], India's [[GMR Group]] and [[Malaysia Airports|Malaysia Airport Holding Berhad]] (MAHB) consortium gained the contract for upgrading and maintaining the airport. In mid-2008, ground was broken to upgrade the international terminal to handle 25 million passengers annually. The new terminal was inaugurated on 31 October 2009.
