Vancouver International Airport (YVR) has been named the best airport in North America.
The port took the honour for the fifth year in a row, awarded by Skytrax in Barcelona at the World Airport Awards on Wednesday. Also known as the Passengers’ Choice Awards, Skytrax’s list is based on travellers’ surveys.
YVR finished ninth overall in the world, with Singapore’s Changi Airport and Seoul’s Incheon International coming in first and second, respectively.
“To earn a fifth consecutive ranking as the top airport in North America as voted by passengers all over the world is truly a remarkable feat,” said Craig Richmond, President CEO, Vancouver Airport Authority.
“This award is about more than just YVR’s iconic art and architecture; it encompasses our superior customer care and efficient processes, our shopping and dining options and more. Ultimately, this award is a powerful testament to the commitment of the YVR community – 24,000 strong – to go beyond, every day.”
