This prestigious airport is named for the founder/first president of the Republic of Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. It serves as the main airport for Istanbul, though the other is much smaller. IST has been named the Best Airport for Business Travelers and has received an Airport of the Year award, as well as being named the Fastest Growing Airport in 2013 by Euro Annies.

Located 28 kilometers from downtown Istanbul, in Yelsilkoy, the airport can be reached by a pleasant coastal road. Around 50 million passengers flow through the airport every year, which is the hub for Turkish Airlines and Onur Air. Other international airlines also use the airport to offer flights around the world. Istanbul Ataturk International Airport features multiple on-site hotels, three runways and two terminals, one domestic and one international.

Istanbul Ataturk International Airport advertising opportunities are available in both terminals. Brands may select from digital or static choices for their IST airport advertising campaigns. Digital announcements, Wifi ads and other similar options are available, while static ads run from experiential advertising and large print ads to displays and wall wraps. There’s the perfect option for every brand.
