THE Iloilo International Airport has been recognized as among the best airports in Asia, according to the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines.
CAAP spokesman Eric Apolonio said based on the results of the 2016 survey of the interactive travel site “The Guide to Sleeping in Airports,” the Iloilo International Airport ranked number 12 while Davao International Airport placed number 26 on Asia for this year’s award for their 20th annual Best and Worst Airports.
The aviation authority managed 81 airports with 36 operating commercial flights all over the country, Apolonio added.
The travel website came up with the world’s best and worse in regional breakdown for Africa, Asia, Caribbean, Central and South America, Europe, Middle East, North America and South Pacific.
Apolonio said Iloilo even out performed airports like Hyerabad Rajiv Gandhi in India (13), Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport in Thailand (17), Jakarta Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, Indonesia (20), Nagoya Chubu Centrair International Airport in Japan (25) and Kaohsiung International Airport in Taiwan (29).
He added the survey rates airports in Asia based on their overall airport experience in terms of comfort (rest zones & gate seating), services, facilities & things to do, food options, immigration/security, customer service and cleanliness.
