Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport made the "
World's Top 100 Airports" list, compiled by travel research firm
Skytrax.
Coming in at number 71, down from 65th last year, the local airport is one of only 15 U.S. airports to make the list. The highest-ranked in the U.S. is Denver International Airport, at number 36.
Skytrax identified Singapore's Changi Airport, South Korea's Incheon International Airport, and Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport as the top three airports in the world.
The firm came up with its rankings through surveys filled out by over 12 million airline passengers over a nine-month period. The questionnaires covered almost 400 airports and asked respondents to rate aspects of service and performance, such as dining options, security procedures, baggage delivery, and cleanliness.
