Do people rally take the results of such surveys seriously? As I suggested in another thread it's often down to expectations and two people having exactly the same experience at an airport will mark them differently. Some people have higher expectations than others.
Large airports range from LHR handling nearly 80 mppa to BHX handling 13 mppa. Small airports range from GLA handling nearly 10 mppa to NWI handling just over 500,000. Someone has taken an arbitrary decision in this. They might as well have just listed all the airports in one 'league table' instead of splitting them into two groups.
Local 'newspapers' (in the loosest sense of the word these days) love surveys like this. It costs them no money, fills column space and their most junior hacks can knock up some sort of accompanying 'story' to keep the pot boiling.
