The ‘Air Transport Awards’ is the only international prize that distinguishes major categories in the air transport sector.
The awards are awarded by Air Transport News (ATN) in partnership with Hermes Air Transport Organisation.
Thierry Ligonnière, Portugal Area Director of VINCI Airports, said: “It is a great honor for Lisbon airport to receive this recognition.

VINCI airports said in a statement that the "award recognizes the excellence of the airport’s teams committed to the quality of service of the airport as well as the commitment to contribute to the development of the Portuguese economy by building traffic and investing in infrastructure to support its growth."

For disabled passengers I found Lisbon to be the best airport ever! Their MyWay program meets those who register in advance at the curb and those who do not register for the service wait a few minutes. And then I had help from getting a boarding pass to a two person lift onto the aisle chair and th3n into my seat. I do not stand or walk and that was the first time in 17 years of flying after my injury that I had people lift me who had been taught how to do it. The majority of my flights end with my shoulders screaming from having them lifted above my neck level by people too short to do the job. The airports in the US may know the rules of the Air Carriers Act but they do not know how to safely move the disabled onto their flights from their airports.

This a joke, right? Lisbon airport is the dullest, most uncomfortable airport in Europe. Apalling food, with limited choices. Black, steel, dark and unwelcoming. I hate having to stop over here on my way down to the Algarve and will always take the train rather than wait around in this hole for more than an hour. You are kidding!!!

Its a great airport. Valet car parking, plenty of space and the TAP lounge is superb. Walking distance to and from your gate can a bit long, but the airport is very well organised. There is no such thing as a perfect airport, but Lisbon is very good.

I checked the website https://awards.atwonline.com/en/home.html. Have they changed the name of Lisbon's airport to Dallas Fort Worth International?

This report is inaccurate. The top ranked airport is in Doha this year and Lisbon in fact came in last and was named the WORST airport in the world. See https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-05-09/the-best-and-worst-airlines-and-airports-of-2019

Great to hear that. It is wonderful airport I feel that. Rest don't know.

In my opinion It should not have won any award. Thought Heathrow to be a far better well organised airport.
