The Airport, Without the Airport
A luxury private terminal at Istanbul Airport, separate entrance, private immigration, Mercedes Maybach apron transfers, and VIP lounge facilities. No queues. No shared spaces. No contact with the general terminal whatsoever.
What Is the C-VIP Terminal?
The Istanbul Airport C-VIP Terminal is a dedicated, appointment-only facility within Istanbul International Airport (IST) — operated by Jetex & IGA since March 2026. It functions independently of the main terminal: separate entrance, private immigration officers, and no shared spaces with any other passenger at any point.
It is the highest level of airport privacy available in Turkey. Used by heads of state, royal delegations, C-suite executives, and ultra-high-net-worth individuals who require absolute discretion and zero time loss. Prometheus Tour, operating at Istanbul Airport since 2011, acts as your authorised booking and coordination partner.
Unlike a standard CIP lounge or Fast Track service — which still move passengers through shared terminal infrastructure the C-VIP Terminal bypasses the main terminal entirely. You enter a different building, clear immigration with officers dedicated solely to this facility, and transfer directly to or from your aircraft by Mercedes Maybach.
It is used by heads of state and royal delegations, C-suite executives travelling on commercial airlines, ultra-high-net-worth individuals and their families, and private or charter aircraft passengers who require full-service ground coordination.

C-VIP Terminal vs Meet & Greet Services ; What Is the Difference?
Istanbul Airport offers several tiers of premium service. Understanding the differences helps you select the right option for your requirements:
- Fast Track: Expedited security and passport control within the main terminal. Passengers still use shared infrastructure. Best for business travellers seeking time savings on a standard journey.
- Lounge (Meet & Greet): A dedicated greeter escorts you through the terminal, with access to premium lounge facilities. Immigration and customs take place within the main terminal building.
- C-VIP Terminal: A completely separate facility with no contact with the main terminal at any point. Private immigration, private vehicle transfer, private lounge. The only option providing full physical separation from the general terminal environment.
