A recent survey by Geneva-based Airports Council International revealed the world’s top airports. The annual survey, called the Airport Service Quality Awards, polled 200,000 passengers waiting at the gate in 90 airports on 34 indicators ranging from the availability of luggage carts to restroom cleanliness.
South Korea’s Incheon International Airport took the lead for the third year in a row. The best 5 airports in the world are:
- Incheon International Airport (South Korea)
- Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Malaysia)
- Changi Airport (Singapore)
- Hong Kong International Airport (China)
- Central Japan International Airport (Japan)
With the top 5 all located in Asia, that doesn’t mean that airports in other parts of the globe fair poorly. Regional winners include:
- Europe – Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport (Portugal)
- North America – Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (United States)
- Middle East – Ben Gurion International Airport (Israel)
- Africa – O.R. Tambo International Airport (South Africa)
- Latin America and the Caribbean – José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport (Ecuador)
