Seven times lucky for Quito Airport

July 12, 2022

Last month, Skytrax, the main organisation that evaluates the service offered by airports and airlines worldwide, announced the winners of the World Airport Awards in the different categories. Quito’s Mariscal Sucre International Airport was recognised as the Best Regional Airport and Best Airport Staff in South America. These awards are in addition to the 5-star rating given to the airport by Skytrax in March this year and the 5-star rating for safety and security measures against COVID 19.

It is the seventh consecutive year that Quito Airport has been awarded as the Best Regional Airport in South America, a category that only includes airports that have their main component of direct connectivity within the same region.

“Maintaining the great performance of Mariscal Sucre Airport in the highest standards of service. We remain at the forefront among the airports in the region, which drives us to continue working with the same passion. I want to congratulate the Quiport team in particular, because despite the great difficulties caused by the pandemic, their professional performance has been incredible. In addition, I thank to all the private companies and government organisations that operate and provide services at the airport, and that have supported us now and always”, said Ramón Miró, President and CEO of Quiport.
