2025 Global Airport Rankings: Haneda Airport Ranks Third

On the 9th, UK-based travel research company Skytrax announced the global best airport rankings, with Singapore Changi Airport ranking first, marking its 13th time receiving this honor.

Changi Airport is a destination in itself. The introduction of early check-in allows passengers to check luggage up to 48 hours before their flight, turning their time at the airport into part of their vacation.

Many visitors explore Jewel Changi, a massive 10-story shopping complex. By 2024, Jewel Changi is expected to attract 80 million visitors. The complex features multiple indoor gardens, the world’s largest indoor artificial waterfall, “Rain Vortex” (40 meters tall), as well as a spa, hotel, art exhibitions, a museum, a cinema, and even a dinosaur-themed park.

Changi Airport is also renowned as a food paradise, winning the “World’s Best Airport Dining” award announced by Skytrax on the same day.
