ABOUT THE AIRPORT STAR RATING

Skytrax World Airport Star Rating was introduced 25 years ago, and has become a global benchmark of quality evaluation for the airport industry.

Skytrax apply airport ratings between a 1-Star and 5-Star level across all customer-facing items of product and service that an airport provides. The ratings are based on a comprehensive study of 500-800 different items, the total depending on airport size and type. Final ratings are applied either when an Airport Audit is completed, or our audit team have gathered enough data to undertake a full airport rating.

Product rating includes terminal layout, design, comfort, maintenance and cleanliness, including features such as seating, washrooms, WiFi, shopping, food and beverages

Service rating at the airport includes airport operated options (eg. help counters, service ambassadors), staff working in shops, restaurants, and cafes, and official staff such as immigration, police, security and customs. Service assessment looks at standards of efficiency, consistency of service, staff attitudes, service hospitality / friendliness and language skills.
