The regional airport category recognizes airports that serve smaller or less populated areas and do not have immigration facilities for international travelers.
Established in 1993, the WTA is known as the "Oscars of the travel industry." The awards depend on regional nominations to compile the final list in each category and the winners are determined by public voting on their official website. The award ceremony for 2025 is set to take place on November 30 in Moscow, Russia.
This year, the other nominees in the category include Chubu Centrair International Airport (Japan), Denver International Airport (United States), Gimpo International Airport (South Korea), King Shaka International Airport (South Africa), London City Airport (United Kingdom), and Salalah Airport (Oman).
