“To be recognized as best airport in North America for a decade is an honour — one we share with our partners and the people who work on Sea Island,” said Craig Richmond, president & CEO of Vancouver Airport Authority. “YVR is the 24,000 individuals — the baggage handlers, the screening officers, the first responders — who come to work every day and make Sea Island a place worthy of being recognized as the best in North America. It is because of their hard work and passion that we continue to connect British Columbia proudly to the world, contributing to the success of this city, province and country.”

The Skytrax awards, which are voted by air travellers, are recognized as the global benchmark of airport excellence with more than 13.5 million completed questionnaires.
