The Skytrax World Airport Awards, based on customer satisfaction surveys, have been held for over 20 years and are widely recognized as a benchmark for airport excellence. In recent years, the race for the title of “world’s best airport” has been between Doha’s Hamad International and Singapore Changi airports. However, this year saw a new winner emerge as Singapore was edged out of the top spot by its Middle Eastern rival in the Skytrax World Airport Awards 2024.
Seoul Incheon came in third place and also won the title of “2024’s most family-friendly airport.” Tokyo’s Haneda and Narita airports claimed fourth and fifth spots, respectively. Hong Kong airport made a significant jump, rising 22 positions to 11th place following an increase in passenger numbers after the Covid-19 pandemic. US airports once again failed to make it near the top of the table, with Seattle-Tacoma being the highest-ranked airport at 24th place, slipping six spots. European airports continued to perform well, with Paris Charles de Gaulle, Munich, Zurich, and Istanbul maintaining their positions in the top 10.
There were several notable movements in the rankings this year. New York’s JFK fell to 93rd place while LaGuardia rose to 33rd position. Melbourne remained the top-ranked Australian airport at 19th place while London Heathrow moved up one spot to 21st and Gatwick climbed seven spots to 48th. Japan’s Okinawa made a significant leap in rankings, going from 199th to 91st position.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Officer Badr Al Meer expressed gratitude for being voted “Best Airport in the World” for a third time as Hamad International Airport celebrated its tenth year of operations. The list of “the world’s best airports” of 2024 included Doha Hamad, Singapore Changi, Seoul Incheon, Tokyo Haneda and Narita airports among others
