Airports Council International (ACI) World has announced the winners of its 2016 Airport Service Quality (ASQ) Awards.
Passengers who complete an ASQ survey are asked to assess 34 key performance indicators, including airport access, check-in, security screening, restrooms, stores and restaurants. Each airport uses the exact same survey, creating an industry database that enables operators to compare themselves against other airports around the world. In 2016, approximately 600,000 individual surveys were completed in 41 languages across 84 countries.
The awards are presented to the airports whose customers have rated them the highest over the course of the year. The categories have been designated to recognize the achievements of airports of different sizes and in different regions.
Angela Gittens, director general, ACI World, said, “I am delighted that as we celebrate the 10th anniversary of helping airports understand how best to serve their customers with the ASQ program, we see our largest group of winners ever. These airports have dedicated themselves to delivering a stellar customer experience. Promoting a culture of continuous service improvement has become a matter of gaining competitive advantage and optimizing non-aeronautical revenue performance. ACI proudly recognizes these accomplishments and we look forward to seeking more effective, efficient and profitable ways of serving the flying public together.”
