A worldwide airports group has named Indianapolis International Airport the best in North America for the second time since 2010.

The award from Airports Council International comes as part of the global airport organization's annual AirportService Quality awards. Indianapolis International beat out airports in Ottawa and Tampa. Indianapolis also was named the top North American airport in 2010.

Indianapolis airport spokesman Carlo Bertolini tells the Indianapolis Star reports the awards program identifies the most passenger-friendly airports throughout the world. Results are derived from year-round passenger satisfaction surveys conducted in gate areas.

Among the other top regional airports for 2012 were Cancun's for Latin America and the Caribbean and Abu Dhabi's for the Middle East.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
