The attacks took place in international flights terminal of the airport. Witnesses told that militants entered the building using the gates beside the CIP entrance, and made it to the passport control section by firing AK-47 assault rifles. Some also claimed that attackers threw three grenades at the passengers waiting in front of the boarding screen.

Binali Yıldırım, the Turkish Premier, announced that the terrorists arrived at the building in a taxi. He highlighted the possibility that one more terrorist might have fled the airport before/after the attack.

PM Yıldırım also blamed the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) for the attacks, noting that all the evidence led to the radical organization, which had carried out similar attacks in Ankara and Istanbul, as well as Brussels last March.
