These are the top 10 airports, as rated by the passengers who traveled through them.

Singapore Changi Airport has been named the world’s best once again in a survey of travellers.

The Skytrax World Airport Awards were announced in London on Wednesday.

The accolades are based on questionnaires completed by airport customers of over 100 nationalities, between August 2025 and February 2026.

However, there is one notable absence this year. Qatar’s Hamad International withdrew from the awards due to the Iran war, which has upended air travel in the region. “The safety and well-being of our passengers, our staff, and their families is, and remains, our absolute priority,” it said. The Doha hub ranked second in the world in 2025, and first the year before.

Even so, Asian airports still reign supreme. There are five in the top 10, compared to four European airports and one from North America.

This year has also seen two new entries into the top 10 compared to last year: Vancouver and Istanbul Airport. No US airport made the top 20.
