Port Harcourt Airport ‘worst in the world’; Lagos, Abuja Airports among ‘worst in Africa’

Port Harcourt International Airport was named the worst international airport in the world for the year 2015. A report published by CNNMoney and released by The Guide to Sleeping in Airports, also listed airports from Asia, Europe and the Middle East, among the worst. The survey, which had qualifying responses from 26,297 well-travelled respondents, put Cape Town International Airport, South Africa, as the best airport on the continent. It said Nigerian airport is riddled with unpleasant and unhelpful staff, alleged corruption, a severe lack of seating, broken air-conditioning and the fact that the arrivals hall is located inside a tent. The website said the good news, however, is that “some areas of the terminal have been recently renovated, meaning you can expect actual walls, floors and windows. Though it is a far cry from reasonable, improvements being made.” Below are the worst and best airports in the world for 2015, according to the report: WORST AIRPORTS OF 2015 Port Harcourt International Airport (Nigeria) King Abdulaziz International Airport (Jeddah, Saudi Arabia) Tribhuvan International Airport (Kathmandu, Nepal) Tashkent International Airport (Uzbekistan) Simon Bolivar International Airport (Caracas, Venezuela) Toussaint Louverture International Airport (Port au Prince, Haiti) Hamid Karzai International Airport (Kabul, Afghanistan) Tan Son Nhat International Airport (Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam) Benazir Bhutto International Airport (Islamabad, Pakistan) Beauvais-Tille International Airport (Paris) BEST AIRPORTS OF 2015 Changi International Airport (Singapore) Incheon International Airport (Seoul, South Korea) Haneda International Airport (Tokyo, Japan) Taoyuan International Airport (Taipei, Taiwan) Hong Kong International Airport Munich International Airport (Germany) Helsinki International Airport (Finland) Vancouver International Airport (Canada) Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Malaysia) Kloten International Airport (Zurich, Switzerland) WORST AIRPORTS IN AFRICA IN 2015 Port Harcourt International Airport (Nigeria) Khartoum International Airport (Sudan) Kinshasa N’djili International Airport (Democratic Republic of the Congo) Juba International Airport (South Sudan) Djibouti-Ambouli International Airport (Djibouti) Mombasa Moi International Airport (Kenya) Abuja Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (Nigeria) Luanda Quatro de Fevereiro International Airport (Angola) Douala International Airport (Cameroon) Lagos Murtala Muhammed International Airport (Nigeria)
