And the award goes to (drum roll)…Changi International Airport, Singapore. (Pat on the back if you guessed right). Second and third were South Korea’s Incheon International and Amsterdam’s Schipol airports respectively. All in all, five out of the top ten airports were based in East Asian cities. Changi Airport also picked up the awards for Best Airport in Asia and the Best Airport for Leisure Amenities.
Changi’s executive vice president for airport management, Tan Lye Teck said: “It’s always heart-warming to know there are people who show appreciation for things we do. We will continue essentially what we’ve always been trying to do (which is put the) passenger, the user, the customer … at the center of everything.”
Skytrax chairman Edward Plaisted said: “Changi Airport continues to be a leader and innovator within the industry. The vast array of leisure and entertainment facilities really stands out at Changi and serves to highlight the extent to which the airport management has gone to ensure maximum levels of passenger satisfaction.”
The awards were announced at a ceremony held at the Passenger Terminal EXPO in Geneva.
