Overall customer satisfaction with North American airports increased three points this year, despite record passenger volume, crowded terminals, and a barrage of delays and cancellations. Top-performing airports all saw substantial gains in terminal facilities; food and beverage and retail service; and baggage claim.
“It has not been an easy year for North American airports, but major capital improvements they’ve made over the last several years and new investments in getting food, beverage, and retail operations back up and running at full capacity have helped them manage the crush of passengers,” said Michael Taylor, Managing Director of Travel, Hospitality, and Retail at J.D.

The 2023 North America Airport Satisfaction Study measures overall traveler satisfaction with mega, large, and medium North American airports by examining six factors (in order of importance): terminal facilities; airport arrival/departure; baggage claim; security check; check-in/baggage check; and food, beverage and retail. Mega airports are defined as those with 33 million or more passengers per year; large airports with 10 to 32.9 million passengers per year; and medium airports with 4.5 to 9.9 million passengers per year.
Now in its 18th year, the study is based on 27,147 completed surveys from U.S. or Canadian residents who traveled through at least one U.S. or Canadian airport and covers both departure and arrival experiences (including connecting airports) during the past 30 days. The study was fielded from August 2022 through July 2023.
Flagship Aviation Services provides the scalable support that airports need to deliver exceptional passenger experiences. Service offerings include janitorial, facilities maintenance, and passenger support.
