Airport Service Quality: Precise assessment of quality criteria
The basis for the awards is an annual passenger survey carried out by ACI under the title “Airport Service Quality (ASQ).” More than 550,000 passengers at more than 300 airports in 80 countries were interviewed, and the results were evaluated in line with various categories such as “orientation“, “security checks“, “food & beverage“, “airport facilities“, “overall satisfaction“ and many more. The ASQ evaluation is very important to Vienna Airport, because it provides a regular and detailed overview of passenger satisfaction. Also, improving the results of these assessments is an important objective of Vienna Airport. More than 190 measures have been implemented within the context of the company’s service initiative from the fall of 2012 until today, ranging from the development of waiting time displays at security checkpoints and baggage claim areas to special services for families, new information monitors and an airport-wide guidance system in all terminals as well as many other projects.
