Following a comprehensive inspection of the terminal facilities, operational procedures, and service standards, Tulpar Travel signed a long-term cooperation agreement.
Arrival, Departure, and Transit VVIP services at JETEX | iGA Private Terminal are now available for booking through AVIAROYALE.
JETEX | iGA Private Terminal – More Than an Airport VIP Lounge
Officially opened in May 2026, JETEX | iGA Private Terminal represents one of Turkey's most significant developments in premium aviation services.
Located within Istanbul International Airport (IST), the facility operates independently of the main passenger terminal. It has been designed for travelers who value privacy, efficiency, exclusivity, and exceptional hospitality.
The project was developed through a collaboration between Jetex, an internationally recognized provider of premium aviation services, and iGA, the operator of Istanbul Airport.
Its primary concept is to offer passengers an entirely different airport experience. Instead of crowded departure halls, lengthy terminal walks, and conventional queues, guests enjoy personalized assistance and airport formalities within a dedicated private terminal.
Importantly, the service is not limited to private jet passengers. Travelers on scheduled international commercial flights can also enjoy JETEX | iGA Private Terminal, subject to advance reservation, confirmation, and operational availability.
Passengers do not necessarily need to travel in First Class or Business Class to access the service.
The Atmosphere of a Five-Star Luxury Hotel
JETEX | iGA Private Terminal is distinguished not only by its airport operations but also by its remarkable luxury facilities.
The terminal combines contemporary architecture, elegant interiors, carefully selected materials, and sophisticated hospitality. Spacious lounges, soft lighting, and thoughtfully designed private areas create a peaceful environment away from the busy airport.
Private Suites – Exclusive Personal Spaces
For guests seeking maximum privacy and relaxation, the terminal features exclusive Private Suites.
These private spaces are particularly appealing to business executives, VIP travelers, families, and guests who prefer a discreet and personalized environment.
SPA & Wellness Facilities
The terminal features dedicated SPA and Wellness facilities, offering guests opportunities to relax before departure or unwind after a long international flight.
Fine Dining and Gastronomy
Guests can experience elegant dining environments and à la carte restaurant services.
Particular attention is given to food quality, presentation, personalized hospitality, and individual preferences.
Premium Lounges, Duty Free, and Business Facilities
Comfortable lounge areas, shopping facilities, and meeting spaces make the terminal suitable for both leisure and business travelers.
Depending on their selected service package, guests may access designated lounge facilities and other available amenities.
Access to Private Suites, SPA facilities, and certain additional services may require advance arrangements and supplementary charges.
VVIP Arrival – Exclusive Airport Arrival Service
Price: €750 + 20% VAT = €900 per passenger
Imagine arriving at Istanbul Airport and experiencing something completely different from the usual airport procedures.
Instead of joining the main passenger flow, you are personally welcomed by a Guest Experience representative holding a name board directly at the aircraft.
The meeting procedure depends on the aircraft's parking position.
Remote aircraft stand: A premium vehicle awaits passengers directly at the aircraft stairs, allowing guests to board the vehicle immediately after leaving the aircraft.
Jet bridge arrival: A Guest Experience representative meets passengers at the aircraft door and escorts them to the apron-level elevator, where their private vehicle is waiting.
Guests are then transported across the airport apron in a luxury vehicle to JETEX | iGA Private Terminal.
Upon arrival at the private terminal, passengers complete immigration formalities in a dedicated passport control area.
The Guest Experience team coordinates the process and provides personalized assistance throughout the service.
Passengers may then enjoy the available lounge facilities and Duty Free shopping opportunities.
Checked baggage is delivered to the designated area, where guests collect their belongings and complete any required customs procedures.
Once all formalities are completed, passengers are escorted to the private terminal exit.
If details of a prearranged driver or transportation company are provided in advance, the terminal team can coordinate the pickup.
The result is a smooth, comfortable, and highly private arrival experience in Istanbul.
This service is particularly suitable for families, business executives, VIP guests, and travelers who appreciate individual attention.
VVIP Departure – Premium Airport Departure Service
Price: €950 + 20% VAT = €1,140 per passenger
The JETEX | iGA Departure experience begins before entering the airport.
Instead of traveling to the main passenger terminal, guests arrive directly at JETEX | iGA Private Terminal, where they are personally welcomed by the Guest Experience team.
Passengers must arrive at the private terminal no later than 1 hour and 30 minutes before their scheduled departure.
The dedicated team coordinates all necessary airport procedures, including check-in, baggage handling, customs formalities, and Tax Free processing when applicable.
Passengers then complete passport control and security screening within the private terminal facilities.
For flights to the United States and certain other destinations, additional security checks may be required. Subject to applicable procedures, these checks can also be conducted within the private terminal.
Once the necessary formalities are completed, guests can enjoy a relaxing pre-flight experience.
Depending on their service package, passengers may spend time in the premium lounge, visit Duty Free, or enjoy other available facilities.
The Guest Experience team also asks passengers about their preferred boarding arrangements.
Where operationally possible, guests may choose to board among the first or last passengers.

This exclusive service provides personalized assistance from the private terminal entrance all the way to the aircraft.
VVIP Transit – A Luxury Connection Through Istanbul
Price: €1,200 + 20% VAT = €1,440 per passenger
Istanbul Airport is one of the world's major international aviation hubs, connecting Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and numerous other destinations.
For passengers connecting through Istanbul, JETEX | iGA offers an exclusive Transit service designed to transform the connection experience.
Upon arrival of the first flight, a Guest Experience representative welcomes passengers at the aircraft with a personalized name board.
Guests are then transferred in a premium vehicle to JETEX | iGA Private Terminal.
Required passport and customs procedures are coordinated according to the regulations of the relevant authorities and the passenger's travel itinerary.
If checked baggage has been tagged through to the final destination, passengers generally do not need to collect it again.
If baggage has not been checked through, the operations team coordinates the necessary arrangements for the connecting flight.
Following the required formalities, passengers proceed to the Departure area without leaving the private terminal.
While waiting for their next flight, guests can enjoy the designated lounge and other available facilities.
Before departure, passengers complete the necessary security checks and are escorted by the Guest Experience team to a luxury vehicle for their transfer directly to the connecting aircraft.
Important: Direct Board-to-Board transfers between aircraft without visiting the private terminal are not available. For security reasons, all Transit passengers must pass through JETEX | iGA Private Terminal.
Mercedes-Maybach and Mercedes-Benz V-Class Transfers
An essential part of the JETEX | iGA experience is the private transfer between the aircraft and the terminal.
Premium vehicles are used to provide comfort and exclusivity throughout this journey.
Mercedes-Maybach vehicles accommodate a maximum of two passengers and are provided subject to availability.
For groups of three or more passengers, comfortable Mercedes-Benz V-Class vehicles are used.
If you specifically wish to travel in a Mercedes-Maybach, this preference must be communicated during the reservation process so that availability can be checked in advance.
Even the short journey between the aircraft and the private terminal becomes part of the premium travel experience.
How Is JETEX | iGA Different from Traditional Fast Track Services?
Many international travelers are already familiar with airport services such as Fast Track, Meet & Greet, and CIP Lounges.
However, JETEX | iGA Private Terminal offers a fundamentally different level of service.
Fast Track primarily provides expedited access through selected airport procedures.
Meet & Greet offers personalized airport assistance and passenger escort services.
CIP Lounge provides access to a comfortable waiting environment with designated amenities.
JETEX | iGA Private Terminal, on the other hand, combines a dedicated terminal, personalized assistance, separate airport formalities, premium apron transfers, and luxury hospitality facilities.
Unlike traditional Fast Track services, passengers are not required to follow the standard route through the main terminal for the procedures covered by their private terminal service.
This makes JETEX | iGA much more than a conventional VIP lounge or airport assistance product.
It is an independent terminal experience created for travelers who expect the highest standards of privacy, comfort, and personalized attention.
Growing International Interest in JETEX | iGA
The opening of JETEX | iGA Private Terminal marked an important milestone in Istanbul's premium aviation sector.
According to a report published by Anadolu Agency on September 11, 2026, approximately 3,600 VVIP passengers had used the terminal since its opening in May.
Russia, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan were among the notable passenger markets.
This growing international interest reflects the demand for exclusive airport experiences among travelers who value privacy, efficiency, and personalized service.
The development of JETEX | iGA further strengthens Istanbul's position not only as a major international transit hub but also as a destination for luxury travel.
