The World's 5-Star Airports


Houston Airports is first-ever recipient of new World Airport Awards category honoring airport art program

Houston Airports was chosen as having the Best Art in the Airport at the 2023 Skytrax World Airport Awards. The win is historic for Houston Airports and the commercial aviation industry. This year the World Airport Awards created a new category, World's Best Art in an Airport. Houston Airports is the first-ever recipient.

"When people travel, they deserve great service and a welcoming passenger experience. Houston Airports has repeatedly demonstrated its ability to deliver the absolute best to all customers," said Sylvester Turner, Mayor of Houston. "The World's Best Art award demonstrates the thoughtful evolution happening within Houston Airports as it endeavors to enhance its remarkable art program."

At more than 350 pieces, Houston Airports has one of the largest public art collections in the aviation industry. Its appraised value is $28 million. Harmony in the Air, a performing arts program for Houston Airports, provides live musical performances on custom stages across the airport's terminals.

LaGuardia Terminal B named world's best new airport terminal of 2023 based on survey conducted by airport rating firm Skytrax

LaGuardia's Terminal B is the first terminal in North America and among just 22 airports and terminals worldwide to achieve the highest possible 5-Star Airport Terminal Rating.

Thierry Déau, Founder, Founder and CEO of Meridiam said, "Meridiam is proud that LaGuardia Terminal B is being recognized for providing a state-of-the-art customer experience. More than ten years ago, we envisioned what the transformation of one of America's most iconic airports could be, and thanks to the hard work and steadfast commitment of LGP, the Port Authority of NY and NJ and Meridiam's team, that vision has become a reality. LaGuardia Terminal B is a shining example of the vast potential brought to bear when public and private entities work together and strive for excellence."

Referred to as the Oscars of the airport industry, the 5-Star Airport Rating is the prestigious and unique mark of Quality Achievement and a global benchmark of Airport Excellence, which is awarded following detailed audit analysis and assessment of each airport’s product and front-line service standards. The World Airport Star Rating was introduced by Skytrax in 1999 and is a premier evaluation system grading airports on their quality standards.
