Binali Yıldırım (born 1955, Refahiye, Erzincan Province) is the current Minister of Transport of Turkey and a MP for Istanbul of the ruling Justice and Development Party.

He was educated the Istanbul Technical University's School of Maritime. After graduation, Yıldırım served as the director general of the Istanbul Fast Ferries Company (İDO) when the current Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan was mayor of Istanbul.

He entered politics and became a co-founder of the Justice and Development Party in August 2001.

During his term of transport minister, Turkey met with high-speed rail lines. Under his leadership, Turkey constructed high-speed rail between Ankara-Eskişehir and Ankara-Konya. Also Eskisehir-Istanbul line is under construction to connect Istanbul and Ankara.

The project collapsed after the tragic derailment of a train in Pamukova, Sakarya Province on July 22, 2004 during one of the first journeys between Istanbul and Eskişehir. Calls for Yıldırım's resignation followed this incident, however he ignored the calls.^[1]

His repeated appointment to the ministry was declared by Prime minister Erdoğan on July 6, 2011 with other members of the new cabinet.^[2]

Binali Yıldırım is married with three children.
