Who gets the 'World's Best Airport' crown this year? It's not Qatar anymore

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.

Al Gore has history of climate predictions, statements proven false

Noted climate activist and former Vice President Al Gore, who made headlines this week after he claimed global warming was "boiling the oceans," has a history of making climate-related proclamations later proven to be false. During remarks made Wednesday at the World Economic Forum summit in Davos, Switzerland, Gore warned that continued carbon emissions into the atmosphere would destroy the planet and lead to widespread calamities. "We’re still putting 162 million tons [of greenhouse gas] into it every single day and the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the earth," Gore said. "That’s what’s boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers, and the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating the droughts, and melting the ice and raising the sea level, and causing these waves of climate refugees."
