Two studies - by the University of Melbourne's Statistical Consulting Centre and research company GA Research - say the ACCC is guilty of a lack of detail and question its data collection methods.
"Sydney Airport has long been concerned about the poor methodology used by the ACCC in its monitoring reports," Sydney Airport chief executive Russell Balding said.
"It still did not publish basic, indeed fundamental, methodological information such as sample sizes, margins of error and response rates.
"Without this essential methodological information, it is not possible to meaningfully interpret research.
"The requirements as implemented by the ACCC do not appear to be sufficient for ensuring the passenger survey is of sufficient quality," Balding added.
