There are no major surprises in the top two airports in the world. Since the last few years, the race for the "world's best airport" title has been a two-sided match. Between Doha's Hamad International and Singapore's Changi airport.

Just that this year the title has switched. The numero uno 12-time winner Singapore has been edged out of the top spot by its Middle Eastern rival in the Skytrax World Airport Awards 2024.

Changi Airport — *Changi International Airport, Singapore Occupies the No: 2 Spot*

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 took fourth and fifth spots. Surprisingly, there are no airports from India who made it to the list despite being the largest market for airlines.

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.

Like the last few years, US airports were nowhere in the list , with the highest ranked, Seattle-Tacoma, slipping six places to 24. Europe, on the other hand, continued to have a strong showing, with Paris Charles de Gaulle, Munich, Zurich and Istanbul all maintaining positions in the top 10.

The Key Highlights:

JFK in New York fell 5 places to 93 while LaGuardia rose from 57 to 33
Melbourne remained the top ranked Australian airport, occupying the 19th place
London Heathrow jumped one spot to 21, while Gatwick was up seven to 48
Japan's Okinawa was the biggest climber, from 199th to 91st position

The Skytrax World Airport Awards are determined by customer satisfaction survey.
