Singapore's Changi Airport has once again been named the World’s Best Airport, securing the prestigious title for a record 13th time at the World Airport Awards 2025, held in Madrid on April 9. The results were announced by Skytrax on Thursday as per the Tribune.

This latest honour reaffirms Changi’s global standing in delivering exceptional passenger experiences. It previously won the top spot multiple times since the inception of the awards in 2000. In the latest rankings, Doha’s Hamad International Airport, a three-time winner, was placed second, while Tokyo’s Haneda Airport secured the third position.

The survey evaluated over 565 airports worldwide, focusing on aspects like check-in, arrivals, security, shopping options, and gate experiences.
Yam Kum Weng, CEO of Changi Airport Group, expressed gratitude to travellers for their continued trust.
