Singapore’s Changi Airport, home to a ‘forest valley’ and the world’s tallest indoor waterfall, has once again been named the best in the world by Skytrax’s annual World Airport Awards.
This is the fourteenth win for the airport, which last year served nearly 70 million passengers. Asian hubs filled out the rest of the top five, with Seoul Incheon coming in second place and Tokyo Haneda coming in third.
Notably, Doha Hamad Airport – last year’s second-place winner – is missing from this year’s ranking, after the airport pulled out of conferences, awards and events due to the ongoing Middle East conflict.
The best airports in Europe
Four European airports ranked among the best in the world this year: Paris Charles de Gaulle, Rome Fiumicino, Istanbul and Munich. Here’s where they landed in the top 10.

How are the winners decided?
The ‘Oscars of Aviation’ recognises hubs across the planet for outstanding customer satisfaction, based on a comprehensive survey of travellers, which this year ran from August to February.
Travellers were asked about every aspect of the airport experience. It’s quite the deep dive – questions range from the friendliness of airport staff to cleanliness, entertainment options and even the availability of luggage trolleys.
Over 575 airports were assessed to determine the final ranking.
Other winners
Alongside recognising the best of the best, Skytrax doles out awards across a variety of categories. Tokyo Haneda topped the list of the world’s cleanest airports, Houston Airport got the gold for best airport art and Seoul Incheon was named the most family-friendly airport.
