The World Airport Awards were inaugurated in 1999, when Skytrax launched its first global airport user satisfaction survey. The awards are considered a benchmark of quality for airports around the world, evaluating customer service and facilities at more than 500 airports.
Skytrax’s annual global airport user survey was conducted from August 2020 through July 2021, with many travelers voting for what they consider to be the best airport based on their pre-pandemic travel experiences, while other users voted based on their airport experience in the past year during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ramón Miró, president and CEO of Corporación Quiport, the company that operates and manages Quito’s Mariscal Sucre International Airport, recalled that this award belongs to all the companies and institutions, as well as to the six thousand collaborators that make Quito’s airport. “It is an honor to lead this great team that has been doing an exceptional job before and during this hard challenge that means the pandemic we are going through. All our employees, as well as our strategic partners, have been able to rise to the occasion and have overcome the problems and difficulties to keep Quito airport at the top. We are grateful to all of them for this great teamwork,” he said.
