For nearly a decade, Singapore's Changi Airport has been named the top airport in terms of both design and service quality. However, Changi's stellar streak was interrupted in 2021 when the top spot was taken by a representative from Southwest Asia.
Hamad International Airport climbed to the top spot after many years of improvement.
Hamad International Airport in the capital Daho (Qatar) has successfully won the top spot after many years of promotion. This is a proud result thanks to the tireless efforts of Qatar Airways and the investment of the Qatar government in both transportation and aviation.
One of the highly appreciated factors of this airport is the service for transit passengers. Specifically, passengers will enjoy a tour around the city and be provided with accommodation and meals without having to pay any fees. In addition, there is a VIP transfer service, where airline staff will directly guide passengers from the time they get off the plane until the procedures at the airport and until the passengers board the next flight.
