LF Wade International Airport has been named the most enjoyable airport in Latin America and the Caribbean by Airports Council International.

The Airport Service Quality Award came two years after the airport was named the best in its class in the region by the body, which represents more than 2,000 airports around the world.

ACI states on its website that its award winners are determined by data gathered through departures and arrivals surveys.

Luis Felipe de Oliveira, the director-general of ACI World, said in a letter to Skyport: "Your customers have spoken and recognised the successful efforts of your team in providing a superior customer experience. Warmest congratulations to you and your entire airport community."

Aaron Adderley, the president of Skyport, said the award was a testament to the collective effort of the entire airport team.

“Building an environment that is conducive to a welcoming and pleasant experience for our island's air visitors and resident travellers is a role that the airport group of agencies takes seriously, and to be recognised for these efforts is extremely rewarding.

“The challenge is for each of our airline partners, service providers and airport agencies to expand on this momentum, especially during the coming peak season, when there will be more passengers and more overall activity stemming from what’s expected to be the highest number of daily flight movements the airport has witnessed in recent years owing to an active schedule led by American Airlines and BermudAir.”
