In the Skytrax World Airport Awards 2023, Singapore's Changi edged Doha's Hamad International Airport into the second spot, earning the title of the world's best airport for a record 12th time. The results were determined by a customer satisfaction survey.
The Asian hub had lost its crown to Qatar for two years running during the height of Covid-19 pandemic-related travel restrictions.
While Tokyo's Haneda Airport secured its third position on the list this year as well, the US was conspicuous by its absence in the top 10.
Paris Charles de Galle was the top performer in Europe, while Seattle-Tacoma International Airport performed the best among its North American compatriots, seeing an improvement from last year's 27th place to this year's 18th.
Lee Seow Hiang, Chief Executive Officer for
Changi Airport Group, appreciated the results, adding "this recognition is
great encouragement to our airport community."
Apart from being named the world's best airport, the Skytrax survey also named Singapore's Changi Airport as the Best Airport in Asia, World's Best Airport - Leisure Amenities, and World's Best Airport - Dining.
Since its opening in 1981, the airport has earned more than 660 'Best Airport' awards. It features themed gardens, the world's tallest indoor waterfall, a forest valley with over 2,000 trees, a swimming pool that overlooks a runway, and numerous other amenities.
