Vancouver placed 17th on SkyTrax’s list of the 100 best airports in the world. It was the only North American airport to crack the top 20.
For the 10th consecutive year, YVR has been named the best airport in North America by the Skytrax World Airport Awards.
“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 individual — 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.
