Change at the top in the ranking of the world's best airports by 2025, which was presented by Skytrax during the World Airports Awards ceremony held at the Passenger Terminal Expo in Madrid.
In this article:
Singapore Changi bypassed Doha's Hamad International Airport and for the 13th time Has been crowned the world's best airport. Doha's reign thus lasted only one year., since the Qatari airport had undermined the Asian airport just last year.
In contrast, the Qatar airport had led the ranking in 2024 but despite The recent expansion of its terminal and the increase in boarding gates, was relegated to second position.
Singapore has also won other awards including. 'World's Best Airport Dining' and 'World's Best Airport Washrooms.
Skytrax's top 10 ranking is literally dominated by the asian stopovers, which occupy all the top six positions in the ranking: behind Singapore and Doha were in fact placed. Tokyo Haneda, Seoul Incheon, Tokyo Narita, and Hong Kong International.
The top non-Asian airport is, in seventh place worldwide, Paris Charles de Gaulle (best airport in Europe), followed by Rome Fiumicino, Munich and Zurich. Three of Lufthansa Group's hubs are in the global top 10, with Vienna ranking 15th overall, while Frankfurt is out of the top 20 (even 37th).
Dubai placed 11th. and, staying in the Gulf area, it is somewhat surprising that Abu Dhabi does not appear in the top 20 global airports (it even ranks 47th), after the opening of its new terminal.
The top 20 is completed by Helsinki (12th), Vancouver (which is the only stopover in the Americas featured in the top 20), Istanbul, Vienna, Melbourne, Chubu Centrair (Nagoya), Copenhagen, Amsterdam, and Bahrain.
