Jaipur airport rated best among tier-II Indian cities

A survey by Airports Council International (ACI), a worldwide association of 1,650 airports in 179 nations, has put Jaipur on top of airports, which cater to annual passenger traffic between one and five million.

Other Indian airports which feature on the list, topped by Sanganer airport, include Goa, Lucknow, Bangalore, Amritsar, Hyderabad, Varanasi, Guwahati and Pune. The category does not include international airports at Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai.

The recent survey by ACI has given a rating of 4.58 on a scale of 5 to Jaipur airport, which according to officials, is an extraordinary accomplishment.

“The last survey by ACI had given us a 4.27-point rating, but with the latest rating we have come on the top of Indian airports falling in the same category as Jaipur’s,” Jaipur airport Director RK Singh said. Singh said that any rating above 3 points in the survey is considered good, but added that “4.58 were exceptional.”

The ACI survey is world’s leading ‘airport customers satisfaction benchmark programme’ with over 190 airports in over 50 countries.
