Turkey’s flag carrier and Europe’s Best Airline, Turkish Airlines, adds a new high quality service for its customers. The new service called ‘Mini Port’ is a daily passenger baggage transportation service between Taksim and Atatürk Airport - an innovative service which lets Turkish Airlines passengers enjoy Istanbul without thinking their luggages.
Mr. Ahmet Olmuştur, Chief Marketing Officer of Turkish Airlines said, “Turkish Airlines has been confirmed as one of the companies implementing this modern passenger processes. It is hoped that passengers will have the chance to get used to the service and will not have any difficulty in complying with the future Off-Airport services. The purpose of this unique passenger service is to utilise the period of time up until flight departure to discover and enjoy the city. It is of mutual benefit for our passengers while it indirectly contributes to the Turkish tourism economy.”
A brand new app has been created in accordance with the Off-Airport concept which is now very much preferred by modern airlines. It will help passengers that have to check out early from their hotels but would like to spend their day comfortably without carrying their luggages.
The Mini Port Office in Istanbul Atatürk Airport is located on the metro floor.
How the app works:
- The passenger comes to the Mini Port Service Point and submits their flight information to the officials.
- The Miniport Service Officer welcome the passengers and receive their luggages.
- The Mini Port officials comply with the transport procedures of luggages arriving by the vehicle of the transportation company. This occurs at scheduled times, three times a day to the Mini Port Office in AHL International Lines metro floor from Taksim Mini Port Office.
