zumi Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 :two_thumbs_up: B-> well done, and can't disagree with it after having passed through it a few times, though the Delhi Daredevil Café is an absolute rip off just like the real team, over rated:finger: http://www.firstpost.com/india/indira-gandhi-international-airport-named-worlds-second-best-872609.html New Delhi: Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport has been named the world’s second best airport in the 25-40 million passengers category by the Airport Council International. The best airport in this category is the Seoul Incheon in South Korea. The airport also has been adjudged as the fourth best in the world among 199 airports across all categories. A nine-member team, comprising representatives from airport operator Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL), Central Industrial Security Force, Airport Operations Control and Air India received the ‘ACI ASQ Award’ at an award ceremony organised by the Airport Council International (ACI) in Istanbul, Turkey on Thursday. “This recognition is testimony to the efforts of all our employees and partners who have consistently met the expectations of the industry,†DIAL CEO I Prabhakar Rao said. IGI airport scored 4.83 out of 5 on the Airport Service Quality (ASQ) scale. IGI has managed to retain its position of second best airport in the 25-40 million passengers per annum category for 2012 year. The airport had an ASQ score of 3.02 in 2007 and ranked last among the 101 participating airports of the world. The airport has an annual capacity of over 60 million passengers, but in 2012, around 34.2 million passengers passed through it. IGI handled around 550,000 tonnes of cargo and over 300,000 aircraft movements during the same period. Since its inception in 2006, the ASQ Awards have become the world’s leading airport passenger satisfaction benchmark with over 275 airports participating in it. The ASQ Awards recognise and reward the best airports in the world based on ACI’s ASQ passenger satisfaction survey done on uniform format worldwide and represent an opportunity to celebrate the commitment of airports worldwide to continually improve passenger experience.
Desi Cartman Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 It has improved quite a bit but its defiantly not no2. It's probably in some random category that they came 2nd
zumi Posted June 14, 2013 Author Posted June 14, 2013 It has improved quite a bit but its defiantly not no2. It's probably in some random category that they came 2nd overall 4th best in the world. it is definitely better than drab outdated american airports I have been to and some of the euro airports, heathrow t5 just looks like one big jail house, with poor facilities, though Amsterdam's doughnut is pretty good. though most Asian airports are far ahead compared to rest of the world.
hhunaeh Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 other indian cities should bid for international games, so that the govt sends us money to upgrade our cities like delhi
flamy Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 It is ridiculous to get from domestic to international. no signs for the shuttle, just gotta stand under the flyover :dontknow:
SLICKR392 Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 :hatsoff: I don't like the city of Hyderabad but they have a pretty good Airport as well.
punjabi_khota Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 It is better than any US airport i have been to (been to at least all major ones). Well deserved I would say.
Sachin=GOD Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 :hatsoff: I don't like the city of Hyderabad but they have a pretty good Airport as well. I recently went to Hyderabad and I must say I found the airport nothing special. Delhi is far better IMO.

ganeshran Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Just 3-4 years back the airport was the pits. T3 changed everything. Not sure if it is the second best in the world, but it is definitely world class
SLICKR392 Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 I recently went to Hyderabad and I must say I found the airport nothing special. Delhi is far better IMO. Obviously it is. The city is horrible, IMHO but the airport is a bliss once you get out of that mess.

It has the best, widest roads in the country, most green among metros, best traffic among all big cities and is the only one with modern subway service.
