MONTERREY, Mexico, March 03, 2016 -- Mexican airport operator Grupo Aeroportuario del Centro Norte, S.A.B. de C.V., known as OMA (NASDAQ:OMAB) (BMV:OMA), announced that the Airports Council International (ACI) named the Culiacán International Airport as the winner of the 2015 Airport Service Quality award for the best regional airport in Latin America and the Caribbean with under two million passengers. This is the second year in a row that Culiacán has won this distinction.

The Airport Service Quality (ASQ) awards are the most important service quality awards for international airports, and are based on the ACI’s passenger surveys that evaluate quality in management and in the provision of airport services based on 34 quality indicators.

Winning the award for the second year in a row shows the functionality, security and safety, comfort, and quality of services that are provided in the Culiacán Airport.  The Culiacán Airport scored highest for terminal building ambience and cleanliness, attention and friendliness of personnel, and security inspections for passengers and luggage, among others.

The Culiacán Airport also won the ASQ 2014 award, while the Mazatlán Airport received recognition in 2011 and 2013. 

These distinctions are the result of the ongoing work of OMA to improve customer satisfaction and to provide a positive experience for its passengers and other users of airport facilities in all 13 of its airports, through adoption of best international practices and continuous improvement in the quality of its installations and services.
