Tampa International Airport is now ranked sixth in the world of medium sized airports by JD Power and Associates. That’s down from fourth in 2003, number 2 in 2002 and the top spot in 2000. Since 2000, TIA has been passed by Singapore in 2002, Hong Kong and Pittsburgh in 2003, and Cincinnati, Portland, and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood this year. Thanks to the vision of the late George Bean Tampa’s airport has ranked near the top of worldwide airports for a long time. By the way, Orlando lost its top spot (high volume airports) to Hong Kong.
