The regional airport category evaluates airports operating in a small or less populated geographical area. These airports also do not include immigration facilities to process traffic among different countries.
Kicked off in 1993, the WTA was regarded as "travel industry's equivalent of the Oscars”. WTA depends on the corresponding award in the region to short out the final list for each category and reveals the winner based on vote volume on the official website. The award ceremony is scheduled for November 26 in Russia.
The other 6 nominees are Chubu Centrair International Airport (Japan), Denver International Airport (U.S.), Gimpo International Airport (South Korea), King Shaka International Airport (South Africa), London City Airport (U.K.), and Salalah Airport (Oman).
