Istanbul Airport Voted One Of The World’s Best

Istanbul’s new airport has been voted one of the world’s best by readers of the renowned magazine Condé Nast. The two-and-a-half-year-old airport was voted number two in the magazine’s recently released ‘World’s Best Airports’ list. This is the second time the airport has reached the number two spot on a top airport list.


The Istanbul aviation scene has seen significant changes over the past few years. As the Istanbul Atatürk Airport was running out of space to expand, the decision was made to build a new airport offsite. The new airport, simply known as Istanbul Airport, was officially opened in 2018.

More than 800,000 Condé Nast voted for the world’s best travel experiences by submitting tens of thousands of ratings and reviews to the magazine this year. One of the categories being examined was airports. Points were awarded for access, check-in, security checks, refreshment areas, shopping opportunities, and design in this category.
