ASQ has been designed for airports of all sizes seeking to measure their passenger service performance and to benchmark it against other similarly sized airports with the overarching objective of offering more effective, efficient and profitable ways to serve the flying public. The ACI Director General’s Roll of Excellence identifies airports that have been ranked in the top five airports by size or region for five of the last six years in the ASQ Survey. This year’s inductees are:
