ACI World’s annual ASQ Awards recognize 'airport excellence in customer experience worldwide based on data from ASQ’s renowned Departures and Arrivals Surveys,' ACI said. The 2022 awards were compiled from over 370,000 customer surveys conducted at airports in 91 countries.
And they found that, for airports serving 25 to 40 million passengers a year, you can't do better than our own MSP. It's quite an honor, especially considering that MSP also won the same honor last year as well.
MSP was also named Best in North America for four straight years between 2016 and 2019, and also earned a spot on the ACI Director General’s Roll of Excellence in Airport Service Quality in 2020, MSP noted in a release.
Brian Ryks, CEO of the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC), which operates MSP, was appreciative of the honor, according to a release:
For MSP to be recognized by our travelers as one of the best in the world year after year is a testament to our focus on providing exceptional airport experiences so Minnesota thrives.
The survey said MSP is the 16th busiest airport in North America and served 31.2 million passengers in 2022. That's a lot of passengers making their way to our fair state, right? So keep scrolling to see some of the most common things we native Minnesotans always have to explain to outsiders!
