Is Port Harcourt Airport Really the Worst in the World?


A survey carried out by SleepingInAirports has placed our own Port Harcourt Airport as the worst in terms of corruption and traveller’s airport experience. Also, people who work at the airport have been fingered as contributing to this negative image with their unpleasant and unhelpful attitude.

According to the report released by www.sleepinginairports.net the data was collected by “asking travellers to rate their airport experiences based on the services and facilities available within the terminal, cleanliness, customer service, comfort and their overall airport experience”

The report revealed that though a lot of airports worldwide performed poorly, those that are rated the worst got the most negative feedback from voters over the past year.

The category of worst  airports which Port Harcourt Airport champions fell short of  “providing any kind of enjoyable overall airport experience. Instead, they're dirty, with virtually no seating, broken air-conditioning and a tent for an Arrivals Hall” the report added.

The report however noted that with the ongoing renovation works at the airport, travellers should expect to see some positive changes.

With this kind of rating, one expects that the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria will wake up to her responsibility of developing and managing airport infrastructure for the benefit of the flying public.

Also, with the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission now present at airports in Nigeria, it is expected that the issue of corruption will be reduced to the barest minimum.
