Based on 2016 results and according to the published results of the ASQ (Airport Service Quality) research program of the Airports Council International (ACI), Sheremetyevo International Airport is first in passenger service quality.
Sheremetyevo International Airport also was ninth among the top-10 best airports with turnover of 25-40 million passengers per year. The Russian airport has thus entered the prestigious league of the world’s best airports in its category.
Sheremetyevo International Airport has confirmed its status as Europe’s best airport for service for the fifth time. This is also an unprecedented feat for Russian airports.
JSC SIA CEO Mikhail Vasilenko noted: “Leadership in ASQ rating for Sheremetyevo confirms that we are working in the correct direction and are moving efficiently towards our goals. The competition among airports for quality is becoming more extreme every year. This means that we must constantly be developing the infrastructure in order to reinforce our leading positions in Europe and globally. But our most important task in developing here is to ensure a high level of quality and standards of various services. This is the core priority for the JSC SIA long-term development program and the essence of our work for the welfare of the passengers and clients.”
The ASQ is the only universal passenger polling program on the day of their airport travel. The program surveys 600,000 passengers every year in 41 languages in 84 countries. It determines the opinion of passengers on 34 key performance indicators, including affordability, registration, security inspection, bathrooms, stores and restaurants, and airport ambience. The best air terminals were thus determined by the passengers themselves.
All airports use a single survey that forms a single database for the airport industry to further compare with other global airports. The ASQ program also promotes an exchange of leading experience among airport operators.
Sheremetyevo International Airport has implemented a number of innovative projects in recent years to improve passenger service quality, create a barrier-free environment, introduce new services and technologies, and improve the efficiency of business processes. This year, the priority of Sheremetyevo International Airport is construction of new facilities, Terminal B, for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, an inter-terminal passage, a modern cargo complex and refueling complex.
Sheremetyevo International Airport combines smoothly the growing cargo loads and construction of a new infrastructure with a high quality of passenger service, creating a friendly atmosphere for all categories of passengers and clients.
