Turkey to unveil giant new Istanbul airport

Description

Turkey is due to inaugurate Istanbul's new international airport, which the government claims will become the world's largest. The airport, one of a number of mega-projects under Erdogan's rule, was initially scheduled to fully open on Monday but construction has been marred by delays and a workers' strike over poor conditions.
