Singapore Changi Airport topped Skytrax list for eight years consecutively, but in 2021 and 2022 it dropped a couple of spots as passenger numbers fell during the pandemic. This allowed Hamad International Airport in Doha, Qatar, to take the top spot. Skytrax, a UK-based air transport research firm, compiles its list by surveying travellers from across the world and asking them to rate their airport experience. Here’s a look at the top 10 airports in the world, according to Skytrax. (Image: Reuters)
