The Corpus Christi International Airport recently earned the 2021 Airport Service Quality Award for Best Hygiene Measures in North America from the Airports Council International. The airport has been hard at work in the past year, receiving in August 2021 the Global Biorisk Advisory Council (GBAC) STAR accreditation, the gold standard for prepared facilities.
The awards from ASQ celebrate and showcase the world’s best airports as voiced by travelers.
“This achievement could not have been accomplished without the dedication and tireless efforts of our front-line employees, who fought through COVID, the weather, cancellations, delays, diversions, and many other obstacles that take place in a normal day at the airport,” Airport Director Kevin Smith said.
COVID-19 affected many travel businesses in the past two years, especially airports with protective mandates for safe travel.
“In a time of evolving health measures and expectations, our CCIA team has proven to be one of the world’s best airports for quality and customer satisfaction,” Mayor Paulette Guajardo said. “CCIA employees work diligently and with dedication to ensure that every customer has the highest quality experience. Our city is making waves in the airport industry.”
