The last week of August marked MSP International Airport's
"Celebrate Success" event to recognize people who work for a variety
of businesses across the airport campus for their outstanding customer service.
The event followed two awards that MSP won last spring. Skytrax
ranked MSP as tops in the U.S. for staff service in its 2016 World Airport
Awards. That survey utilized 13.82 million airport questionnaires completed at
550 airports worldwide.

The Skytrax survey evaluates traveler experiences across different airport service and product performance indicators, from check-in, arrivals, transfers, shopping, security and immigration, through departures at the gate.
Also last spring, Airports Council International ranked MSP No. 1 in North America for an airport in our size category. That win was also based on customer surveys.
Approximately 19,000 people work in jobs directly related to MSP Airport operations, including airline employees and contractors, federal security and immigration workers, concessionaires, MAC employees and many others.
