Sheremetyevo Airport has been recognized consistently since 2012 as one of the best airports in Europe in terms of service quality. At the end of 2020, Sheremetyevo topped the rating in the category of the largest airports in Europe for the third time. At the same time, this year Sheremetyevo was included in the list of the Voice of the Customer of the Airports Council International – the 140 most active airports in the implementation of the ASQ ACI program during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“ACI’s Airport Service Quality awards represent the highest possible accolade for airport operators around the world,” said ACI World CEO Luis Felipe de Oliveira. “This year more than any other, the awards recognize those airports that have listened to their customers and adapted the services and experiences they offer to meet changing needs and expectations under very trying circumstances. I am proud of the achievements of all ASQ award winners which shows their focus on delivering excellence in customer experience and setting an example of excellence for their peers. As we come together as an industry to meet the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, the focus on customers that the ASQ programme provides will help guide the way.”
“An airport is very much a service business, and we take the idea of service very seriously,” said Sheremetyevo’s Chairman Alexander Ponomarenko. “Airlines and passengers have a choice, and we want to make it easy for them to choose Sheremetyevo. We do that by paying close attention to the traveler’s needs so that the time they spend with us is pleasant, convenient, stress-free and safe. That is our mission.”
Last year, Sheremetyevo Airport, in the face of global anti-epidemic restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, implemented major infrastructure projects and introduced new services in order to improve the airport experience of passengers and customers. In addition, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Sheremetyevo fully implemented a set of preventive measures in cooperation with the responsible government agencies and services to ensure a safe stay at the airport for passengers, guests and staff.
Sheremetyevo introduced a number of new services in 2020 in anticipation of the lifting of restrictions on international traffic and restoration of the intensity of flights in the country and abroad. These services include a rapid testing service for COVID-19 (first among the world’s airports) and the opening of a publicly available coronavirus vaccination station. To date, the implementation of anti-epidemic measures at Sheremetyevo continues on a full scale.
The systematic development of infrastructure, an effective management system and the introduction of innovative technologies and services are the priorities for Sheremetyevo’s management and allow the airport to provide high quality services for passengers and customers. Sheremetyevo Airport was awarded a number of international and Russian industry awards based on its performance in 2020.
