Abu Dhabi International Airport received the "Best Improvement Award" for the Middle Eastern region in 2009 from Airports Council International (ACI).
The airport ranked top in eight customer service categories that demonstrate efficiency, service offered, and helpfulness of the staff in the recent ACI ASQ (Airports Service Quality) results for the Middle East Region - a key benchmark for customer service in the global airports' industry.
"The awards recognise those airports that have made the most progress in improving service quality," said Craig Bradbrook, ASQ Programme Director.
Ahmad Al Haddabi, Senior Vice President of Airports Operations for Abu Dhabi Airports Company (Adac), said: "Naturally, we thank our customers and passengers for affording us these ratings; they clearly vindicate the hard-work of all our staff and related agencies at the airport who are striving to ensure Abu Dhabi offers some of the world's best airport environments."
