Quito Airport leads South America as best regional airport | News

Quito’s Mariscal Sucre International Airport has been recognized as the best regional airport in South America, consolidating its leadership in the region and strengthening its position as a benchmark for airport quality.

This recognition marks a milestone: 11 years in a row in which Ecuador’s capital has remained the highest-rated airport in its category, in a highly competitive environment.

In this edition of the awards, Quito Airport also ranked first as the cleanest airport in South America.

These recognitions, presented by Skytrax as part of the World Airport Awards – considered the most prestigious awards in the aviation industry – are based on a rigorous methodology that combines direct passenger feedback via an online survey with detailed analysis of multiple aspects of the airport experience. This approach identifies and recognizes airports that distinguish themselves by the quality of their services and infrastructure on a global scale.

Quito Airport has maintained this leadership through a management approach focused on operational efficiency, punctuality, safety and a passenger-centric travel experience, complemented by a sustainability vision that integrates social and environmental criteria.
In other categories, the airport ranked third for the best airport staff in South America and fourth among airports that handle 5 to 10 million passengers annually worldwide.

Additionally, the Wyndham Quito Airport Hotel was recognized as the best airport hotel in South America, enhancing the overall quality of Quito’s airport experience.

These recognitions not only position the airport, but also strengthen Ecuador’s image as a competitive and reliable destination for air transport and international tourism.

Ramón Miró, President and CEO of Quiport:

“This achievement is the result of the collective effort of the entire airport community. Every operation, every service and every interaction with passengers matters. This recognition encourages us to continue raising our quality standards.”
He also highlighted that Quito Airport has received this award for eleven years in a row. “This clearly demonstrates Quiport’s consistent commitment, in the medium and long term, to achieving excellence in the management of Ecuador’s most important airport.”
