iGA Istanbul Airport wins ‘World’s Best Airport’ award

The Travel + Leisure awards ceremony — held in New York City, where the magazine is headquartered — gathered industry leaders and distinguished guests.

iGA Istanbul Airport’s corporate communications director, Gökhan Şengül, said: “We are truly honoured that the services we deliver at iGA Istanbul Airport are recognised not only for operational excellence but also for their cultural value. It is especially meaningful for us that Turkish culture — known for its hospitality, refinement, and service that exceeds global standards — stands out through our airport. In doing so, we take great pride in representing not only iGA, but also Istanbul and our country’s rich cultural heritage on the international stage, while contributing to its brand value.”

According to Travel + Leisure readers, airports were evaluated based on accessibility, check-in experience, security, dining options, shopping, and overall design.
