Survey
All about the Skytrax World Airport Awards
The World Airport Awards commenced in 1999 with Skytrax's inaugural global airport customer satisfaction survey.
A key principle of the survey is to empower customers to make their own subjective choices about the best airport.
The primary aim is to conduct a customer survey and airport awards process that is unbiased, impartial, and global in scope, and this principle continues to underpin all aspects of the survey and awards process.
