Seoul\'s Incheon ranked first, Singapore\'s Changi second and Beijing was placed at the third spot.

The annual service quality passenger survey undertaken by ACI, an autonomous and independent body, measures customer feedback on a range of service delivery parameters that track the customer experience at an airport from the moment of arrival to the departure gate. Analysis of this "real-time" data, recorded on the day of travel, serves as a guide for better aligning service provision with customer expectations. The ASQ Awards have become the world's leading airport passenger satisfaction benchmark.
