In recent years, airports have faced increasing pressure to adopt sustainable practices due to their significant environmental and social impacts. Airports are frequently criticized for their contribution to carbon emissions, noise pollution, and energy consumption, highlighting the need for greater transparency regarding their socioeconomic and environmental effects. As a result, stakeholders demand that airports take responsibility for their impacts and manage them in a more sustainable and resilient manner. Sustainability in airports is a multifaceted concept that must be addressed from environmental, social, and economic perspectives. Like other actors in the aviation sector, airports develop sustainability strategies and actively integrate them into their operations. This study examines sustainability policies implemented at airports globally while assessing the current state of Turkish airports. In this context, a comparative evaluation is conducted based on international standards and trends to identify key areas that require improvement. Furthermore, the findings aim to contribute to the literature on sustainable airport management and support airports’ transition toward greener operations in Türkiye.
