Istanbul Airport in Türkiye was named "Airport of the Year" and received Air Transport Awards for 2024 for the fourth time in a row, the airport operator IGA announced on Monday.

Istanbul Airport was chosen as "Airport of the Year" in 2021, 2022 and 2023 previously by Air Transport News, the airport operator said in a statement, adding that the awards are given in 14 different categories, with around 4,000 votes.

IGA Istanbul Airport Acting CEO Selahattin Bilgen said at the award ceremony in Greece on Sunday that IGA is proud to have received the award.

Standing out among all international airports in the world and achieving this title once more demonstrates the dedication of all airport teams who strive for operational excellence, he added.

Kostas Iastrou, general director and CEO of Air Transport News said Istanbul Airport has proven to be a resilient and innovation-leading aviation hub despite all of the challenges faced by the aviation industry since the pandemic.

It has rapidly reached pre-pandemic passenger numbers and increased airline diversity to become a leading global hub, he noted.

He added that this award is a reflection of the dedicated work of airport staff and the pleasant travel experience they provide to their guests.
