(Dubai) – Dubai International was named Best Airport in the Middle East at the Business Traveler Middle East Awards 2014, taking the award for an incredible eighth year. The awards, which were held at the Waldorf Astoria, Dubai Palm Jumeirah, are based on feedback from frequent flyers, many of whom regularly fly through Dubai International.
“That we continue to secure this prestigious award is testament to the fact that we at Dubai Airports are able to consistently provide the great service our passengers expect from us. However, we also recognize that competition from other airports in the region is increasing. Therefore we have to continually redefine our passenger experience to ensure that we stay ahead of a fast-changing industry, where our passengers expect much more from an airport than they did eight years ago,” said Paul Griffiths, CEO of Dubai Airports.
The Business Traveler’s Best Airport in the Middle East award recognizes the quality of services provided such as check-in facilities, accessibility and transport connection, luggage handling, security checks and customs as well as availability of meeting rooms, restaurants and shopping.
