Hong Kong Airport Claims Top Award - Again

In the largest independent survey of its kind, global air travellers have again chosen Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) as the world’s best airport. This marks the third year in a row that HKIA has soared to the top of air passengers' “best" lists.

Skytrax Research, a London-based independent supplier of research to airlines and the business travel industry, announced the results of nearly 1.7 million nominations from around the world in June. Passengers praised HKIA’s spacious passenger terminal, its fast and efficient ground transportation links and its overall cleanliness.

Edward Plaisted, Chief Executive of Skytrax, congratulated the Airport Authority (AA) Hong Kong for this “great achievement" of winning in the face of such a difficult time for the travel industry.

AA Chief Executive Officer, Dr David J Pang, said, “This is recognition of the excellent work of all airport staff members. In spite of keen competition and unanticipated adversity, their devotion to provide the best services and determination to excel continues unabated."

After HKIA, the airports named in the world’s top five were Singapore Changi Airport, Dubai International Airport, Sydney Airport and Copenhagen Airport.
