According to the poll, the region’s best airport is that in Budapest. The runner-up is the airport in Bucharest, while the Tallinn airport completes the TOP 3.
Boryspil International (KBP) overtook the airports in Tbilisi, Belgrade, Bratislava, Zagreb, and Sofia.
The World Airport Awards set quality standards for the global industry, assessing the level of customer service at more than 500 airports around the globe. The survey and award process is fully funded by Skytrax.
A pilot project of the Ministry of Infrastructure is being implemented at Boryspil International Airport within the framework of the National Barrier-Free Strategy. Together with First Lady Olena Zelenska, UNICEF, and a number of non-profits, an audit was conducted and an action plan was developed to improve accessibility. Over the past two months, the airport has started to implement the scheduled measures and their first positive results are showing, the report reads.
