SURVEY METHODOLOGY
MEASURING PASSENGER SATISFACTION ACCURATELY
The main reason the ASQ Survey is so highly valued by over 200 airports worldwide is that it is the only global survey to provide a statistically accurate measure of passenger satisfaction. This means the data can be trusted and used for informed business and strategic decisions.
The ASQ Survey follows a strict fieldwork methodology that has been specifically designed to ensure accurate and comparable results:
1.
Airports receive a sample

Each airport follows its own custom-designed sample plan
To ensure representative results, DKMA creates a sample structure reflecting the operations at each individual airport. Participating airports are required to follow these sample plans for their interviewing. Each airport’s sample is reviewed on a quarterly basis to ensure that all participants meet ASQ fieldwork quality standards.

ASQ is not carried out via internet or email. The survey questionnaire is administered on-site at the departure gate while the full airport experience is still immediate in the passenger’s mind. All airports perform the interviews following the same fieldwork procedure. A minimum of 1,400 passengers per year are randomly selected to take part in the survey at each airport, guaranteeing statistically accurate results.
