Soekarno-Hatta senior General Manager Bram Bharoto Tjiptadi said on Friday that the assessment was based on seven parameters, known as "Sapta Pesona," which tested seven attributes, namely safety, cleanliness, orderliness, comfort, beauty, hospitality and enchanting memories to attract tourists.
"The success of the airport in getting the award is inseparable from the contribution of janitors, their technical partners, and the prospective passengers who care for cleanliness," Tjiptadi pointed out.
He noted that the award was expected to motivate and bring about an improvement in services in terms of cleanliness for the comfort of prospective passengers.
He further stated that the number of airplane passengers at the Soekarno-Hatta airport had continued to increase every year.

The criteria for assessing the public toilets at the airport included hygiene, completeness, appropriateness, ease-in-use, and the management, which was in accordance with the general standards of cleanliness.
A team of jurors involved in the assessment were chosen from the Indonesia Toilet Association, the Tourism and Creative Economy Ministry, the Transportation Ministry, the Health Ministry, the State Enterprises Ministry, the Indonesian Consumers Foundation and toilet observers.
