This success is part of the dynamics of the "Airports 2030" strategy. Led by ONDA, this plan aims to strengthen operational efficiency and the modernization of facilities, while relying on close coordination with security services, customs and local authorities.

The ranking is based on a vast international satisfaction survey conducted among passengers of more than 100 nationalities. Between August 2025 and February 2026, the services of more than 565 airports around the world were evaluated to designate the winners of this edition.
