In the 2009 ASQ survey, HKIA achieved a record high of 4.76 points out of 5 points, which means that more than 98 percent of respondents rated it as "excellent" or "very good".

Key areas that were particularly commended by passengers included terminal cleanliness, airport ambience, free internet connection, availability and cleanliness of washrooms, and comfort of gates and waiting areas.

The ASQ survey, which interviewed over 275,000 passengers at 118 airports in 2009, is a leading industry benchmarking program that allows airports to measure their improvements and benchmark their customer service year on year.
