On 25 February 2006, the Turkish State Railways truncated all trains on the line to Çiğli to allow for the construction of the Karşıyaka rail tunnel to begin.

In 2008, TCDD further truncated all train service from Çiğli to Ulukent, allowing for the construction of the station underpass.

Ata Sanayi station was completed in the latter half of 2008 but did not see train service for another three years.

Ata Sanayi opened on 30 January 2011, with the extension of İZBAN's northern line from Çiğli to Aliağa.

[1] Ata Sanyi is located within İZBAN's Central Line (Menemen-Cumaovası), seeing train service within a 12-minute window.
