It is on the Asian side. I was there in Nov. 2001 and it was dead as it could be with great facilities. It has become the airport of choice for many Russian charters. It is also convenient if your final destination is East of Marmara Sea which helps you to avoid crossing continents , slashing about 2 hrs of horrible stop and go traffic. BAHA Fan of SAW airport getting some business. -----Original Message----- From: The Airline List [mailto:AIRLINE@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Alireza Alivandivafa Sent: Monday, September 29, 2003 8:05 PM To: AIRLINE@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Some news from Turkish scene In a message dated 9/28/2003 9:19:17 AM Pacific Daylight Time, bahadiracuner@xxxxxxxxx writes: << 3.
