The Pi­ar­co In­ter­na­tion­al air­port has topped the re­gion as the Best Air­port in the Caribbean by the Sky­trax 2022 World Air­port Awards. Ac­cord­ing to a press re­lease from the Air­port Au­thor­i­ty, with re­spect to the Glob­al Re­gion the air­port has al­so been ranked the Third Best Air­port by Sky­trax, edged out on­ly by Pana­ma's Toc­u­men In­ter­na­tion­al Air­port and Cos­ta Ri­ca's San Jose In­ter­na­tion­al Air­port.

The fol­low­ing is a press re­lease from the Air­port Au­thor­i­ty:

Air­ports Au­thor­i­ty of Trinidad and To­ba­go (“the Au­thor­i­ty”) is pleased to an­nounce that the Pi­ar­co In­ter­na­tion­al Air­port has again topped the re­gion as the Best Air­port in the Caribbean, as de­clared by the Sky­trax 2022 World Air­port Awards.

In ad­di­tion, with re­spect to the Glob­al Re­gion - Cen­tral Amer­i­ca and the Caribbean, the Pi­ar­co In­ter­na­tion­al Air­port has been ranked the Third Best Air­port by Sky­trax, edged out on­ly by Pana­ma's Toc­u­men In­ter­na­tion­al Air­port and Cos­ta Ri­ca's San Jose In­ter­na­tion­al Air­port.

Gen­er­al Man­ag­er of the Au­thor­i­ty, Mr. Hay­den New­ton, be­lieves that “these ac­com­plish­ments are as a re­sult of the per­se­ver­ance and re­silience of our em­ploy­ees, who con­tin­ue to work dili­gent­ly, de­spite pre­vail­ing chal­lenges, to en­sure that we con­sis­tent­ly achieve high stan­dards of safe­ty and se­cu­ri­ty while demon­strat­ing op­er­a­tional ef­fi­cien­cy and ser­vice ex­cel­lence”.

Mr New­ton added that, “these ac­co­lades are sig­nif­i­cant not just for the Au­thor­i­ty but al­so for the na­tion of Trinidad and To­ba­go, and give us com­pet­i­tive ad­van­tage with­in the Caribbean re­gion”. Sky­trax World Air­port Awards are the most pres­ti­gious ac­co­lades for the air­port in­dus­try.

This in­de­pen­dent glob­al cus­tomer sat­is­fac­tion sur­vey is con­sid­ered a bench­mark of qual­i­ty stan­dards for the avi­a­tion sec­tor. It as­sess­es cus­tomer ser­vice and air­port in­fra­struc­ture of over five hun­dred and fifty air­ports world­wide.

The Au­thor­i­ty in­tends to con­tin­ue to lead the re­gion by main­tain­ing the high­est stan­dards of op­er­a­tional ef­fi­cien­cy and cus­tomer ser­vice at both the Pi­ar­co and ANR Robin­son In­ter­na­tion­al Air­ports, and mak­ing valu­able con­tri­bu­tions that would en­hance the at­trac­tive­ness of des­ti­na­tion Trinidad and To­ba­go.
