COP31, the 2026 United Nations Climate Change Conference, runs from Monday 9 November to Friday 20 November 2026 at the Antalya Expo Center in Antalya, Türkiye. The World Leaders' Summit is scheduled for 11-12 November, days three and four of the conference.
For advertisers, it is twelve days of national delegations, ministers, negotiators, investors and corporate representatives arriving in a destination best known for leisure travel, funnelled primarily through Antalya Airport (AYT).
Why Does Airport Advertising Work During COP31?
COP31 is a negotiation and decision-making event, not a spectator one. Policy, finance, energy, infrastructure and corporate sustainability audiences travel to Antalya for a fixed twelve-day window, with the leaders' summit in the first week concentrating senior arrivals. AYT, which served around 39.0 million passengers in 2025, is where that audience first lands, and November sits outside the May to October peak holiday season, so event traffic stands out against the usual leisure flow.
Key Benefits of Airport & City Advertising During COP31
Reach decision-makers on arrival. Delegates, officials and corporate representatives pass through AYT at the start of a fixed negotiation window.
Elevate your brand positioning. Presence at the gateway to a global climate conference places a brand beside the week's policy and investment conversation.
Generate real business opportunity. Energy, finance, infrastructure, technology and professional services brands reach buyers and partners while they are mid-itinerary.
Antalya Airport (AYT): The Gateway to COP31
Antalya Airport is the main gateway to Türkiye's Mediterranean coast. It served around 39.0 million passengers in 2025, making it the third-busiest airport in Türkiye, and sits about 13 km from the city centre. It has three terminals: two for international flights and one for domestic traffic.

COP31 delegates move between AYT, their hotels and the Antalya Expo Center across the conference days. An Airport to City sequence lets a brand appear first at AYT arrivals, then again across the city placements that delegates actually pass through on the way to the venue.
- Increased brand recall: repeated exposure from arrival through to the destination
- Consistent presence: a brand becomes part of the event's visual environment rather than an isolated placement
- Enhanced campaign effectiveness: sequencing across airport and city outperforms a single-site buy at equivalent spend
Why Brands Choose Airport & City Advertising for COP31
Exclusive audience access. Few windows put this concentration of policy, finance and corporate travellers into a single, identifiable travel corridor. Energy and renewables, financial services, infrastructure and engineering, technology and sustainability-led brands reach this audience best in this window.
A prestigious environment. COP31 lends a brand the same register that draws its own audience to the destination.

COP31 Won't Wait. Neither Should You.
- A fixed calendar: the conference runs 9-20 November and the leaders' summit on 11-12 November draws its own wave of arrivals.
- Competitors are already moving: category peers plan their presence around the same twelve days.
- The window follows the event, not convenience: a campaign that starts late misses the arrivals that build ahead of opening day.
- The alternative reaches the wrong audience: generic city media cannot isolate the conference traveller the way airport media can.
