It may be small but it's a popular airport

Luxembourg's airport has been ranked in the world top 10 of airports receiving fewer than 5 million passengers per year.

lux-Airport came seventh in the Skytrax World Airport Awards for its category, up two places from last year.

It was judged by air passengers according to 40 different performance criteria such as comfort of facilities, shops, personnel and check-in.

Three other European airports pipped Luxembourg to the post in the same category, with London City, with which Luxembourg has a frequent connection, ranked second.

Luxembourg continues to be ranked among the “Top 100” best international airports for all categories, just behind Shanghai Pudong and ahead of Geneva and Los Angeles airports.
