Cape Town International Airport has been hailed as the leading airport in Africa, securing the top spot in the latest survey conducted by Skytrax, a renowned consumer ratings organization. This recognition underscores the airport’s steadfast commitment to delivering exceptional customer service and ensuring efficient operations.
Despite this regional triumph, Cape Town International Airport has seen a slight decline in its global ranking, currently positioned at 54th place, down from its 23rd position in 2020. This shift highlights the dynamic nature of the international air travel landscape and the evolving standards within the aviation sector.
The 10 top-performing airports in Africa are:
1. Cape Town International Airport
2. Durban King Shaka International Airport
3. OR Tambo International Airport, Johannesburg
4. Mohammed V International Airport, Casablanca
5. Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport, Mauritius
6. Menara Airport, Marrakech
7. Addis Ababa Bole International Airport, Ethiopia
8. Kigali International Airport, Rwanda
9. Cairo International Airport, Egypt
10. Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, Nairobi, Kenya
These airports have demonstrated outstanding performance in providing top-notch services and facilities, contributing significantly to the growth and development of the aviation sector in Africa. The findings of the Skytrax survey provide valuable insights into the excellence and progress of airports across the continent, serving as a benchmark for further improvements and advancements in the industry.
However, it is noteworthy that neither the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja nor the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial hub, made it to the rankings. This absence underscores the need for continued efforts to enhance the quality and efficiency of airport services in Nigeria to meet international standards and improve the country’s standing in the global aviation arena.
