Singapore Changi Airport has been crowned the World’s Best Airport for 2025 at the Skytrax World Airport Awards, held on April 9 at the Passenger Terminal EXPO in Madrid. The rankings, released by the UK-based aviation consultancy firm Skytrax, highlight Asia’s continuing dominance in airport service and innovation, with the top three positions held by Singapore, Doha’s Hamad International Airport, and Tokyo Haneda Airport.
