Additional scheduled and charter flights had an important role in the record, it said
Finalists Inter and Manchester City fans, who came by plane, caused a crowd at the airport.
While the arrival of the fans with scheduled flights continued, many non-scheduled planes departed from Italy and the UK landed at Istanbul Airport.
