The Skytrax World Airport Awards are widely recognized as the global benchmark for airport excellence, based entirely on passenger feedback through the world’s largest independent customer satisfaction survey. The survey evaluates traveller experiences across different service and product key performance indicators – from check-in, arrivals, transportation, shopping, security and immigration through to departure at the gate.

The Best Airport in North America award and additional accolades highlights the strength of YVR’s strategic focus, one that prioritizes sustainable growth through investments in its core operations, excellence in customer service, and a commitment to climate resilience – all in service of the community and economy that supports it.
