In the fast-paced and challenging sphere of air travel, standing out as an airport is quite a challenge. However, Cape Town International Airport has remarkably achieved this feat, ascending to the prestigious position of the third-best worldwide in the latest AirHelp Score for 2023. This accomplishment is a clear demonstration of the unyielding dedication of the airport’s staff and leadership in meeting travelers’ requirements and surpassing their anticipations.
AirHelp, the premier global air passenger rights organization, undertook a comprehensive assessment of flight data and passenger experiences from the initial nine months of 2023. This gargantuan task led them to refine a database of 4,000 airports to a condensed list of 194, employing standards such as punctuality and customer feedback.
Punctuality, described as any flight touching down within 15 minutes of its expected arrival time, accounted for a substantial 60% of the final score. This demanding time frame highlights the importance of timely arrivals in a business where every minute bears significant value. Cape Town International Airport’s superior ranking is indicative of its efficient management of numerous flights landing and taking off daily.
Enabling customer participation in the evaluation process, AirHelp surveyed 15,800 air travelers across 58 countries, their views forming a crucial 20% of the final score. The Daily Maverick revealed that participants were requested to assess the airports they had recently visited, evaluating elements like staff, waiting durations, accessibility, and hygiene on a range from ‘excellent’ to ‘very poor’. This comprehensive approach to assessment not only presents a precise image of the airport’s performance but also mirrors the individual experience of the traveler, encapsulating the spirit of a truly global standard airport.
Airport rankings displayed interesting variations worldwide. Oman’s Muscat International and Brazil’s Recife-Guararapes International managed to surpass Cape Town, securing the top two spots respectively. Notably, Japan and Brazil, each hosting three airports in the top 10, exhibit the consistently high benchmarks of their aviation sectors. The United States also featured prominently with three airports among the top 50.
Bilbao Airport in Spain achieved the highest ranking in Europe, with an impressive rating of 8.04 out of 10. Christchurch International Airport in Oceania, with a score of 8.02, and South America’s Recife-Guararapes-Gilberto Freyre International Airport, earning an impressive 8.49, warrant special mentions as well.
However, not all airports fared as well. Indonesia’s Banjarmasin Syamsudin Noor International Airport, Malta International, London Gatwick Airport, Humberto Delgado Airport in Lisbon, Nikola Tesla Airport in Belgrade, and Denpasar International in Bali were among the lowest-ranked in the survey.
Cape Town International Airport’s accomplishment serves as a powerful testament to the potency of commitment, accuracy, and customer-focused service in the aviation sector. It serves as an inspiration for other airports globally, epitomizing the zenith of what an airport can be and should be, from its operational efficiency to its comprehensive passenger experience.
