Aviation Insight: According to the latest J.D. Power North America Airport Satisfaction Study and CNBC reporting, traveler satisfaction increased by 14 points at mega airports, 13 points at large airports, and 16 points at medium airports—despite near-record passenger volumes approaching 3 million daily screenings.

Extensive capital renovations across terminals, modernized biometric TSA screening lines, and expanded culinary/retail concourses offset passenger density. Minneapolis-Saint Paul International (MSP) retained the top mega-airport rank, while Tampa (TPA) and Charleston (CHS) led their respective tiers.
