Istanbul Airport now offers therapy dogs to calm anxious travelers before their flights.

The program aims to reduce stress and anxiety among passengers. Travelers like Anastasia Podmazova find comfort in petting dogs like Kuki, praising the service. Positive feedback has prompted the airport to consider expanding the project from five to ten dogs. Abdulkadir Demirtas, a customer experience manager, highlights the proven benefits of animal-human interaction in reducing stress.
