List of best airports in the world for customer service

The best airports put a lot of effort into making passengers’ journeys as smooth and enjoyable as possible because there is a lot more to an airport than just the mechanics of getting from point A to point B.

Monday’s announcement of the Airport Service Quality Awards honors the world’s best airports for customer service.

Rome’s Fiumicino Airport is one of the most decorated mega-airports that handle more than 40 million passengers annually. In addition to receiving an award for overall quality, the airport was also recognized for being clean, enjoyable, and staffed with dedicated employees.

Additional recognition was also given to Singapore’s Changi Airport for its dedicated staff and passengers’ ease of use of the hub. In addition to receiving an award for overall quality, the Istanbul airport was recognized for its pleasant and clean environment.

The winners of the awards are selected by the travel technology company Amadeus and the trade group Airports Council International based on passenger surveys taken at the airport on the day of travel. About 465,000 surveys were collected in 2022.

Check-in, ease of navigation, and shopping and dining offerings are among the 30 factors examined in the surveys.

“The ASQ program not only measures and benchmarks but also provides airports of all sizes with an opportunity for continual learning and improvement to reach new heights in customer experience excellence,” said Luis Felipe de Oliveira, director general of ACI World, in a statement.

Overall customer experience, as well as new categories

Of the 69 airports that received ASQ awards for overall quality, 24 are in Europe, 22 are in the Asia-Pacific region, 11 are in North America, 5 are in Latin America or the Caribbean, 4 are in Africa, and 3 are in the Middle East.

There is no one-size-fits-all winner in any region or airport; The top 20% of airports in each size and region category received awards.

This year, ACI also added four new categories: airports with the most dedicated staff, the easiest airport journey, the most enjoyable airport, and the cleanest airport.

Airports with scores in the top 5% for each region received awards in the new categories.

The new “most enjoyable” category takes into account how shoppers and diners feel, how comfortable the gate areas are, the options for entertainment and leisure, and the ambiance.

There were awards presented to 75 airports around the world.
