Indore slips to fourth spot among best airports of India: ASQ survey
Indore: Indore's Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Airport has slipped to the fourth position among the top airports in India during the first quarter of 2025 (Jan to March).
Indore airport was second in the ranking in the final quarter of previous year. Despite once holding the top spot, Indore airport struggled to improve its ranking in passenger amenities. With a score of 4.94, Trichy Airport secured the top position, followed by Goa in second and Kolkata in third place.
Indore airport failed to meet expectations in passenger facilities during the first quarter of this year. Lower scores across several parameters led to its compromise at the fourth position in the national ranking of best airports, according to the recently released
Airport Service Quality
(ASQ) survey report.
In the first ASQ survey report of the year, Goa, Kolkata, Indore, and Pune airports all received an identical score of 4.92. In such cases, the ranking is determined based on the Asia Pacific rankings. In the Asia Pacific region, Goa was ranked 56th, Kolkata 57th, Indore 58th, and Pune 59th, leading to Indore's fourth place in national ranking despite the equal score.
This was the second consecutive quarter where Trichy Airport held the top rank. In 2024, Indore Airport's rankings were 12th in both the first and second quarters, improving to fourth in the third quarter and then second in the final quarter. The airport management stated that continuous improvements are being made to the facilities and the impact will be visible in the upcoming quarters.
Indore airport secured the 10th rank in the annual survey for 2024, with a score of 4.92 out of 5. This ranking was influenced by its performance outside the top 10 in the initial two quarters. Subsequently, the airport enhanced its facilities, reaching the top 5 in the last two quarters of the year.
