Singapore’s Changi Airport named world’s best airport

Last updated: Wednesday, March 24, 2010 |

Singapore’s Changi Airport clinched the “World’s Best Airport” this year in Skytrax World Airport survey.

In the annual survey of travelers worldwide last year, Singapore’s Changi Airport was placed the third, trailing behind Seoul’s Incheon and China’s Hong Kong. But this year, Changi overtook the two airports to top the ranking. Changi also won the Skytrax award for Best Leisure Amenities.

 

Since its opening in 1981, Changi Airport has won more than 340 airport awards.

 

Changi Airport Group’s CEO Lee Seow Hiang said, “Changi’s success would not be possible without the affirmation, encouragement and feedback that we have received from our stakeholders, including the millions of passengers and visitors we serve every year.”

 

Edward Plaisted, chairman of Skytrax, said, “This is the largest ever Skytrax airport survey with 9.8 million travelers from over 100 nationalities taking part.”

 

Beijing is ranked the eighth in the world’s top 10 rankings in the World Airport Awards for 2010.
