The two front-runners in the competition to be named "world's best airport" in recent years have been Singapore Changi and Hamad International in Doha.

This year the title has switched, with 12-time winner Singapore being edged out of the top spot by its Middle Eastern rival in the Skytrax World Airport Awards 2024.

Seoul Incheon, which was also crowned 2024's most family-friendly airport, placed third in a strong Asian performance, while Haneda and Narita in Tokyo came in fourth and fifth.

Hong Kong airport saw a significant boost, up 22 positions to 11th place after the city shook off its Covid-19 hangover and passenger numbers rose.
