The certification brings significant prestige to İGA in terms of uninterrupted passenger experience, reliability of flight operations, and continuity of infrastructure management.
APOC Played a Strategic Role in the Certification Process

Equipped with advanced technological infrastructure, the centre is at the heart of all operations, from managing daily flight operations to rapid, coordinated decision-making during crises.
APOC’s high preparedness against adverse weather conditions, natural disasters, and operational disruptions stands out as one of the fundamental pillars of İGA Istanbul Airport’s business continuity capability.
