Cabin Crew HQ, a blog for flight attendants and airlines, has compiled a ranking of the best airports in the world, reports the NewYork Post.
The ranking results are based on estimates of parking costs, passenger numbers, average flight punctuality, and the availability of shops and restaurants. Data for the estimates was collected from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and The Official Aviation Guide of the Airways. Each airport received a score of up to 100 points.
The list of the best airports in the world looks like this:
- Tokyo International Airport (Haneda);
- Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport;
- Chicago O’Hare International Airport;
- Mexico City International Airport;
- Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport;
- George Bush International Airport in Houston;
- Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi;
- Denver International Airport;
- Istanbul International Airport;
- Charlotte Douglas International Airport in North Carolina.
Tokyo International Airport took first place with a score of 80, thanks to approximately 88 percent flight punctuality and plenty of dining and shopping options.
The US is well represented in the overall top 10 rankings, including Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Airport in Georgia, which came in second with a score of 75.18 and the highest number of passengers.
