Airports first, airlines later
For the first time ever, we’re splitting the AirHelp Score into two parts. We’ve released the ranking of airports around the world now, in time for summer, while the second half, our airline ranking will come out this winter. This ensures that passengers have all the latest info on airport rankings ahead of the busy summer months to plan their trips accordingly.
