HIA's victory marks its third time at the top, having previously clinched the award in 2021 and 2022.

While Singapore's Changi Airport gracefully conceded the top spot this year, it didn't leave empty-handed. Changi remains a titan in the industry, securing the coveted second-place position.  Furthermore, Changi retained its regional crown as "Best Airport in Asia" and received recognition for its exceptional immigration services, winning the "Best Airport Immigration Service" award.

The Skytrax World Airport Awards are highly respected within the aviation industry, with the rankings determined by a comprehensive global survey of air travelers.  Passengers are surveyed on their experiences across various touchpoints within an airport, including check-in, arrivals, transfers, shopping, security, immigration, and departure at the gate. This year's survey, conducted between August 2023 and February 2024, captured the evolving needs and expectations of travelers in a post-pandemic world.
