-

Malta Internatio­nal Airport has placed third in the Best Airport by Region (Europe) category in Airports Council Internatio­nal’s 2016 Airport Service Quality (ASQ) Awards.

Airports Council Internatio­nal (ACI) announced the winners of its ASQ Awards, following the rating of 284 airports worldwide by passengers travelling through them during the course of 2016.

Malta Internatio­nal Airport obtained its highest score to date in this survey, which measures passengers’ overall satisfacti­on with their airport experience, including staff efficiency and courtesy, ease of way finding and airport facilities.

This landed the airport in a prestigiou­s third place from among eighty-four European peers welcoming over 2 million passengers annually. Sharing this spot with Malta Internatio­nal Airport are Dublin (28 m pax/year), Porto (7 m pax/year) and Zurich (27 m pax/year) airports.

“The progress we registered in our overall score indicates that in our pursuit of service excellence we are better meeting our guests’ expectatio­ns at the various points of their journey through our airport. I would like to thank our airport team and all our partners for working together towards the same vision of offering an airport experience that seeks to delight its visitors,” said Malta Internatio­nal Airport CEO, Alan Borg.

“I am delighted that as we celebrate the 10th anniversar­y of helping airports understand how best to serve their customers with the ASQ Programme, we see our largest group of winners ever,” said Angela Gittens, Director General of ACI World.

“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 optimising non-aeronautic­al revenue performanc­e. ACI proudly recognises these accomplish­ments and we look forward to seeking more effective, efficient and profitable ways of serving the flying public together.”
