Incheon airport, the international gateway to South Korea, ranked first in the annual Airport Service Quality passenger survey carried out by the Airports Council International, according to a statement from the Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs.

It is the first airport to scoop the world’s best airport title for seven years in a row, the ministry said. “It would have been impossible to set a record by ranking first for seven straight years without the constant efforts by about 35,000 workers at the airport and the government’s full support,” a ministry official said in the statement.

South Korea’s Gimpo International Airport, located in the west of Seoul, also ranked the best among mid-sized airports with annual passengers between 15 million and 25 million, the ministry said.
