Incheon Int'l Airport named world's best for 5th consecutive year

SEOUL, Feb. 16 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's Incheon International Airport, the
gateway to Seoul, has been chosen as the world's best airport for the fifth
straight year in the latest customer satisfaction survey conducted by the
Airports Council International (ACI), the airport said in a statement Tuesday.

"Incheon International Airport topped the ACI's Airport Service Quality survey
for the fifth year in a row, defeating about 1,700 airports in 181 countries
worldwide," said the statement.
It is the first time that a single airport has secured the top post in the ACI's
Airport Service Quality survey for five consecutive years. Dubai International
Airport in the United Arab Emirates had topped the ACI survey for three
consecutive years in the past.
The ACI annually lists the top 108 airports worldwide with points awarded on the
basis of a survey of passengers on 34 aspects of service, operation and
facilities.
Incheon also claimed the top prizes in three other categories in the ACI survey,
namely Best Airport Worldwide, Best Airport in the mid to large range and Best
Airport in Asia-Pacific, the statement said.
The award ceremony is scheduled to take place at the ACI Asia-Pacific Regional
Assembly, Conference and Exhibition scheduled for May 13 in Hainan, China.
