Still shots from the DVD
Istanbuls Other Airport : £17.95 : £12.95 : 75 minutes
Istanbul’s Attaturk airport is the major gateway to Turkey, but there’s another airport serving the Turkish capital that’s less well known. Opened in 2001, Istanbul’s Sabiha Gokcen airport is steadily attracting more and more users of its superb facilities.
The airport’s low fuel costs and handling charges attract a great mixture of veteran Soviet freighters, gleaming executive jets and some of the latest low-cost airlines.
We were given unrestricted access 24 hours a day. The result is a unique DVD that really gives you a sense of being there on the ramp in wonderful sunshine, in a country where aviation photography is not normally encouraged.
We’ve been able to give you a detailed look at many of the unusual aircraft featured, including an Air Sirin AN2, a Volga Dnepr AN124 and inside an AN12. There’s an IAI Galaxy among the biz-jets, plus a Corendon 737 and an Atlas Jet A320.
Don’t miss the stunning night shots, including the arrival of an IL62 and an IL76.
Comments from our customers ....
I have just watched "Istanbul's Other Airport" and this DVD is magnificent. I felt like I was standing on the runway for most of the time - just like being there.

DVD formats explained
There are several different kinds of DVD available so here's a simple guide.
DVDs are 'pressed' from a master disc.
DVD-Rs are 'burnt' from a master DVD, just like copying one CD to another.
DVDs and DVD-Rs will play in any computer DVD drive [but not in a CD drive].
All our DVDs/DVD-Rs are 'region-free', so they will play anywhere in the world. However, if you're not watching your DVDs on a computer, you will need to ensure they are compatible with your national TV system. There are two main types; PAL and NTSC.
PAL TV is used in the UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and many other Commonwealth countries. PAL DVDs are therefore the obvious choice for those countries.
Because PAL DVD players will also play NTSC DVDs without any adverse effect on picture quality, DVDs that were filmed in NTSC are now released as PAL/NTSC DVDs, as the same format can be used world-wide.
NTSC TV systems are used in the USA, Canada, Japan and some other countries. If you have a multi-system DVD player, this will play either NTSC or PAL DVDs, and you should also buy our PAL DVDs and PAL/NTSC DVDs.
Most US DVD players are multi-region, not multi-system, and you will need to buy our NTSC DVD-Rs and PAL/NTSC DVDs.
Some early DVD players would not play DVD-Rs. If you buy a DVD-R from us and it is not compatible with your DVD player, we will provide a full refund, including your postage.
Postage and packing charges
Not only are our postal charges some of the lowest in the UK, we don't charge any extra to ship DVDs to any destination worldwide.
The more DVDs you buy in one order, the lower the postal charges. Buy four or more and there is no postal charge at all. Buy five or more and we'll add Special Delivery or Priority Airmail at no extra cost.
That's great value!
- 1 DVD ~ £1.50
- 2 or 3 DVDs ~ £2.00
- 4 DVDs ~ Free Delivery
- More than 4 DVDs ~ Free Special Delivery or Priority Airmail
