The air transport industry is one of the key industries focused on sustainability issues due to its environmental impacts. Airports, which provide infrastructure for air transport operations, are the main stakeholder responsible for environmental sustainability. This study focuses on the environmental impacts of certain airports and the practices they implement to reduce these impacts. Sample airports to be evaluated were selected from international airports, and they were examined under the titles of greenhouse gas emissions, water management, waste management, energy management, and noise. Evaluations are based on the results of sustainability reports and annual reports of airports and publications of national and international organizations. Three airports were selected among the airports that won the “Best Airports 2020 by Global Region” award, and Istanbul Airport was also included in the study for comparison in the national field.
