Singapore Changi Named World’s Best Airport 2025 by Skytrax
April 20, 2025 – Singapore Changi Airport has once again soared to the top, clinching the title of World’s Best Airport 2025 at the prestigious Skytrax World Airport Awards. Held on April 9, 2025, at the Passenger Terminal EXPO in Madrid, this marks the 13th time Changi has claimed this coveted accolade, solidifying its reputation as a global aviation leader. With its iconic indoor waterfall, cutting-edge facilities, and unmatched passenger experience, Changi continues to redefine what an airport can be.
A Record-Breaking Triumph
The Skytrax Awards, often dubbed the “Oscars of the aviation industry,” are based on a global survey of over 13 million passengers from more than 100 countries, conducted between August 2024 and February 2025. Travellers evaluated airports on key metrics like check-in efficiency, security, dining, shopping, and overall comfort. Changi’s consistent excellence in these areas has made it a standout, surpassing competitors like Doha’s Hamad International Airport, which took second place, and Tokyo’s Haneda, ranked third.
Edward Plaisted, CEO of Skytrax, praised Changi’s achievement, stating, “It is a great achievement for Singapore Changi Airport to receive the highest award as the World’s Best Airport 2025, this being a record-breaking 13th time in the awards history that they have scooped this award.”
What Makes Changi Unrivalled?
Changi Airport is more than a transit hub—it’s a destination in itself. Handling 67.7 million passengers in 2024 and operating 7,400 weekly flights to over 160 cities, Changi blends innovation with hospitality. The Jewel Changi Airport complex, home to the world’s tallest indoor waterfall, the Rain Vortex, captivates visitors with its lush indoor gardens, rooftop canopy park, and a 10-story shopping haven.
Beyond aesthetics, Changi excels in functionality. It was the first airport to implement passport-free immigration checks across all terminals, allowing travellers to clear immigration in just 10 seconds using biometric authentication. Automated check-in counters and seamless baggage handling further enhance efficiency. Changi also won Skytrax awards for World’s Best Airport Dining, World’s Best Airport Washrooms, and Best Airport in Asia, proving its commitment to every detail of the passenger experience.
A Gastronomic and Relaxation Haven
Foodies rejoice at Changi’s diverse dining options, ranging from Michelin-starred restaurants to local hawker stalls, earning it the title of World’s Best Airport Dining. The airport’s washrooms, often overlooked elsewhere, set a new standard with impeccable cleanliness and modern design, securing the inaugural World’s Best Airport Washrooms award. For those with layovers, Changi offers unique attractions like a butterfly garden, tropical rainforest, and even a cinema, ensuring every moment is enjoyable.
Asia Dominates the Rankings
The 2025 Skytrax rankings highlight Asia’s aviation prowess, with the top six airports hailing from the region. Following Changi, Hamad International Airport in Doha earned accolades for World’s Best Airport Shopping, while Tokyo’s Haneda was named the World’s Cleanest Airport. Seoul’s Incheon, Narita, and Hong Kong International also secured top spots, showcasing Asia’s focus on infrastructure and service excellence.
Changi’s Vision for the Future
Yam Kum Weng, CEO of Changi Airport Group, expressed gratitude for the recognition, saying, “Changi Airport is honoured to be named by Skytrax as the World’s Best Airport for the 13th time. As air travel continues to grow, we look forward to welcoming passengers to experience the magic at Changi Airport.” With plans for lounge upgrades in Terminal 2 and expanded global routes, Changi is poised to maintain its lead.
