The Airport Service Quality Awards were based on passenger surveys focussing on all aspects of usage and facilities. Passengers rated airports on how easy they were to get to and from, check-in procedures, and security and immigration checkpoints. The quality of shops, food and beverage outlets, and restrooms was also factored in.
Chiang Mai came joint third with two US airports, Indianapolis and Jacksonville, as well as Cochin Airport in India and Amman Airport in Jordan. The winners in this category shared the honours too. Hyderabad Airport and Tianjin Airport were joint first while Changchun and Hohhot airports shared second prize.
