<\/div>\nThe Skytrax World Airport Awards are determined by customer satisfaction survey.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The race for the “world’s best airport” crown has been a two-horse affair in recent years, with Doha’s Hamad International and Singapore Changi leading the pack.<\/p>\n
This year the title has switched, with 12-time winner Singapore being edged out of the top spot by its Middle Eastern rival in the Skytrax World Airport Awards 2024.<\/p>\n
In a strong showing for Asia, Seoul Incheon bagged third place – also being named 2024’s most family friendly airport – while Tokyo’s twin facilities of Haneda and Narita \u00a0took fourth and fifth spots.<\/p>\n
Hong Kong airport saw a significant boost, up 22 positions to 11th place after the city shook off its Covid-19 hangover and passenger numbers rose.<\/p>\n
Once again US airports were nowhere to be seen near the top of the table, with the highest ranked, Seattle-Tacoma, slipping six places to 24.<\/p>\n
Europe continued to have a strong showing, with Paris Charles de Gaulle, Munich, Zurich and Istanbul all maintaining positions in the top 10.<\/p>\n
