About İstanbul Airport

İstanbul Airport carries the IATA code IST and the ICAO code LTFM. It sits at 41.2749, 28.7321 in Istanbul, Turkey, and is classified as a large airport with scheduled passenger service.

The codes are worth keeping straight, because they are not interchangeable. IST is the three-letter IATA code — the one on your boarding pass and your baggage tag. LTFM is the four-character ICAO code air traffic control and flight planning systems use. This page tracks by position, so it shows every aircraft in the area regardless of which code its flight plan was filed under.

Positions come from volunteer ADS-B receivers and are provided for general interest. This is not a source of arrival or departure times — for those, check with the airline or the airport directly.
