"The Voice of the Customer recognition celebrates the commitment of airports that continued listening to passengers and adapting processes and procedures to meet changing expectations of customer experience in response to COVID-19," said ACI World CEO Luis Felipe de Oliveira. "As our industry works towards recovery, airports that listen to – and prioritize the needs and expectations of – customers will be better-placed to respond.
