Do I need to go through security again when transiting through Istanbul?
I am travelling from New Delhi to Gothenberg via Istanbul with Turkish Airlines on both sectors. Layover time is 4 hours.
If boarding passes for both sectors were issued in New Delhi, do I need to go trough security check from arrival to departure in Istanbul again? In my case the arrival and departure are both at Terminal 1 at Istanbul and both flights are operated by Turkish Airlines on one ticket.
Best Answer
yes you have to go security screening again to reach from arrival to departure. There is only ine Terminal so everyone in transit has to go through it. This applies to Atatürk Airport. A new Airport is being built and operating as of Oct 2018 if I am not wring. There I do not know.

In Turkey, as in most of the world, clearing immigration is not required for an international to international connection. The passenger can remain airside, and does not need to enter Turkey. HOWEVER, the transfer passenger may have to go through transfer security inspection.Do I have to go through security check again for connecting flight?
