World's best airports: the United States lags behind

If we follow the conclusions of the Skytrax consultancy, whose annual rankings have become the benchmark for evaluating airline and airport services, there are very few airports in the United States to make it into the top 50 of the world's best air hubs.

Only four of them managed to break into this ranking in 2013. The first of these is Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International, which snatches 30th place, followed by Denver International (36th), San Francisco International (40th) and Atlanta Hartfeld (48th). Further down the rankings, Dallas Fort Worth is 54th, but Chicago O'Hare plummets to 84th. In the New York region, the JFK hub is still 63rd, well ahead of Newark, relegated to 93rd place worldwide! North America can console itself with Canada, however. Vancouver was voted by the Skytrax jury as the eighth best airport in the world.
