New istanbul airport

New Istanbul Airport is opened. I have too many news comments complains evaluations about the new airport. It is as in famous Turkish saying "The caravan gets better organised on the road"" There are problems in the new settlement phase,
we cannot ignore them, we need to identify the problems first to solve the problems.
Let us list observations from news reports.
As the new Istanbul airport is very large, it requires walking crossing over long distances, so there must be better and more hiking bands, electric car services for the elderly, their numbers  should be increased and they should be immediately available when requested.
The passenger bellows are not working, they must be activated as soon as possible.
The length of the taxi time that the planes spend on the landing and take off is very long, and the passengers are waiting 30-45 minutes in the plane after landing on the airport.
It takes a long time to get to the airport from the city center and that travel time takes almost 2 hours to get to the airport. Taxi fare is  at least 120-150 ₺ for 60- km in city traffic. Metro rail transportation needs to be completed. On sabiha gokçen airport on the other side of the city, subway transportation has not been completed for years, it also has to be completed, there is empty terrain from pendik tavşantepe to  Sabiha,
so why  laying the rail does it last so long?
The new airport is only working for thy, Turkish national airline, there are no other known reputable  big airlines, small airways such as atlas, astana, rarely lands here.
In FlightRadar we see a decrease in the number of flights, there is not enough air traffic, large big reputable airlines do not comehere, new airport must pass international-north america-western european security inspection and prove itself.
Migratory birds were not covered not seriously considered in the construction  at all, from africa to eastern europe in May, and reverse from east europe to africa in september, 5-6 million storks-flamingos over airport airspace for millions of years.
how will they pass through this route? It is very important danger, great risk.
At the airport, investors put a off-the- shelf ready project on the north-south axis in the current place, but the prevailing wind was not taken into account which blows from the  north-east. As the airplanes go by, the winds are coming on the sideways, however the boeing and airbus airplanes are currently resistant to wind at 100km /hour, but at higher wind speeds, planes can be highly affected in landing.
Sabihagökçen passenger and airplane traffic increased by 50%, even by taxi or shuttle bus from atasehir or bostancı- kartal - tavşantepe 25-km not much, taxi fare is 50₺
In FlightRadar review,  the new airport traffic is relatively less. Even public officials still use the Yeşilköy, the new airport is left to the ordinary  citizens.
İt is too big, huh? Is it safe? Easy to access? Far away from migratory birds? Are the passenger bellows working? Is catering properly? All this in time? Will it be all right? Will the caravan improve on the road?
