该项目四个阶段中的第一个阶段将于2018年完成，每年将为9000万名乘客提供服务。一旦各阶段完成，机场的载客量将扩大到每年超过1.5亿人次，成为世界上单一屋檐下最大的机场候机楼。

The first of the project’s four phases is slated for completion in 2018 and will serve 90 million passengers per year. Once all phases are complete, the airport’s capacity will expand to over 150 million annual passengers, making it the world’s largest airport terminal under a single roof. 

“伊斯坦布尔大机场将是一个现代化的，高功能的机场，具有独特的空间感，”北欧描述。这座机场的灵感来自于伊斯坦布尔的伟大之处：一座规模庞大、起伏的大都市，拥有数千年的历史，令人叹为观止的新老建筑，以及丰富的色彩、图案和光线质量。

“The Istanbul Grand Airport will be a modern, highly functional airport, with a unique sense of space,” described Nordic. “The airport is inspired by what makes Istanbul great: a large-scale, heaving metropolis with millennia of history, stunning architecture, both new and old, and a richness in color, patterns and quality of light.”

“在内部，拱形天花板几何给人一种强烈的方向性感，从陆面到空中，也是为了响应沿着终点站沿其长度穿越航站楼的人。”屋顶和布局设计将加强客流，同时以直观的方式提高乘客体验。天窗提供自然日光，通过聚焦的直射阳光穿过天花板。这一光天化日突显了航站楼的关键区域，如登机口、保安、护照管制和零售环境。“

“Internally, the vaulted ceiling geometry gives a strong sense of directionality, from landside to airside, but also for responds to people traversing the terminal along its length. The roof and layout design will reinforce passenger flows, whilst enhancing passenger experience with intuitive wayfinding. Skylights provide natural daylight, which is diffused through the ceiling via focused beams of direct sunlight. This daylight highlights key areas in the terminal such as check-in, security, passport control and the retail environment.”
