      Most of these "meetings" aren't boardroom meetings. Different parties, representatives of service providers and contractors sit in a big room and listen to the information like the latest KPI and what needs to be done.
      In a newsreel regarding Hong Kong's airport relocation back in 1998, one such meeting where the head of operation (a Brit) talked somewhat calmly with plenty of understatements ("punctuality of movements were at 33%. We're not yet the top of the class").
      Meanwhile, the deputy head was Chinese and was a lot more stern, saying, "please take another good look at the massive documents. I know it's tedious to read through all the chunks and details. I advise you all the PLAN. YOUR. MOVES. EARLY."

      Yes, a fairly rare occurrence. Similarly in 1995 a Continental Airlines flight bound for LGW was the last departure from Denver's Stapleton International Airport (DEN) a little after 9:00 PM. At midnight the new Denver International Airport took over the IATA code DEN, so by the time the Continental flight landed in London, the IATA code DEN belonged to a different airport than when it departed.

    I'm glad that I missed this chaos. I moved to Turkey in 2020. By then the new airport was running well. It's an amazing airport. With 76 million passengers in 2023, it's close to overtaking Heathrow (79 million passengers) as the largest airport in Europe, and probably will in a few years. My only complaint is that the airport is pretty far away from central Istanbul.

    the customs checkpoint. i personally am apart of those people that run to it, but you’re running for AT MINIMUM 10-15 min to get to customs. and then, after that, there’s like 30 baggage claim belts, all in the same room, and i’m somehow always at one of the last ones. there are a few other nitpicky things, but aside from the annoyance that is the size when you’re landing at ist, it really is a nice airport. and the size thing is an advantage when you’re stuck there on a layover

      SAW has been my WORST experience in an airport, ever. Had a flight to FCO, at midday. Picked me up at 6 am from Sultanahmet, arrived at 8:30 am, check in was "fast" but i spent almost 3 hours at immigration. ONLY 2 POLICEMAN for the whole airport. Almost missed my flight

    That's pretty dope, but changing the IATA code does sound a bit... _dangerous?_
    I mean you're basically trusting that every single plane and/or system that uses them will update. Not even that, but even just pilots that are used to flying there getting confused by the name vs location mismatch. Not saying that's very likely... but you never know.
