Airport Mega Move

Synopsis

Istanbul’s Ataturk airport, the home of Turkish Airlines for decades, is about to close. Across town, a new state-of-the-art airport will begin operations but with flights in high demand, they have just 12 hours to move everything to their new home. This massive logistical challenge is of a scale never before attempted. Once this colossal move is completed, Turkish Airlines’ new home will be on track to become the busiest airport in the world.
