2024 inductees to the ACI World Director General's Roll of Excellence

The ACI World Director General's Roll of Excellence is one of the highest honors in the airport industry, recognizing airports that have consistently excelled in service over the past decade. This year, 10 airports are inducted into this prestigious list, celebrating their sustained commitment to excellence. Inductees include:

Alicante - Elche Airport
Beijing Daxing International Airport
Copenhagen Airport
El Hierro Airport
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport
Inverness Airport

ACI World Director General Justin Erbacci said, "In today's fast-evolving world, where passenger expectations are higher than ever, airports must continually push the boundaries of service to stay ahead. The 2024 ASQ Awards honor airports that create memorable, seamless experiences that transform the entire passenger journey and help shape the future of air travel."

Amadeus EVP AirOps Rudy Daniello said, "The aviation industry is on the cusp of radical improvements to the passenger experience. Changes to underlying airline systems and technology standards provide the flexibility to rethink decades-old processes and truly transform travel. Imagine a future where you no longer need to check-in for a flight, with visa checks happening digitally before travel. In this vision, airport terminals can be re-focused around the passenger, with the need for fixed desks and associated queues greatly reduced. We envision greater personalization, roaming agents and a greatly simplified passenger experience. I'm excited to see how these changes are received by airports and travellers."

Looking ahead: The 2024 ASQ Awards Ceremony

The 2024 ASQ Awards Ceremony will take place at the ACI World Airport Experience Summit in Guangzhou, China, from September 8-11, 2025. This prestigious annual event will bring together industry leaders, experts, and innovators to discuss the future of customer and employee experience while sharing the latest strategies and insights.
