Scoring method

How airports are ranked.

We measure security, customs, parking, and taxi queues across a rolling 7-day window. Metrics are normalized by airport size and volume, then combined into a single A–F grade. Updated every Monday.

  • Four independent metrics (security, customs, parking, taxi)
  • Weighted by passenger impact (security weighted highest)
  • Normalized for airport size to prevent big hubs from dominating
  • Rolling 7-day window refreshed weekly on Monday
