In the prestigious annual rankings recently announced by the international aviation rating and ranking organization Skytrax, this year's Top 100 Best Airports in the World honored Vietnam's strong presence with two excellent representatives: Noi Bai International Airport and Da Nang International Airport. Specifically, Noi Bai International Airport affirmed its position at 79th place, while Da Nang International Airport followed closely at 84th place, showing the remarkable progress and increasingly improved service quality of the Vietnamese aviation industry in the international arena.
A notable highlight in this year's rankings is the impressive rise of Noi Bai International Airport. With a 17-place increase compared to last year's position, Noi Bai has demonstrated its relentless efforts in improving and upgrading the quality of services and infrastructure. This is also the seventh time Noi Bai International Airport has been honored to be included in the prestigious Skytrax rankings, a worthy recognition for its commitments and specific actions to bring the best experience to passengers over the past time.
Noi Bai Airport has been in the top 100 best airports in the world for 7 times.
According to the representative of Noi Bai International Airport, last year, the Airport ensured absolute safety and security for more than 30 million passengers, and witnessed a strong growth in the number of international visitors in the first quarter of this year, demonstrating the effectiveness of the opening of many new international routes, connecting Hanoi with important destinations around the world. Looking to the future, Noi Bai International Airport is shaping its development strategy to become a smart airport, focusing on improving the passenger experience, while aiming for green and sustainable development goals, to consolidate the position and reputation of the important gateway airport of Hanoi in the eyes of passengers and international friends.
This marks a worthy recognition for Noi Bai's persistent efforts and continuous improvement over the past time.
No less impressive, Da Nang International Airport has also made significant progress in this year's rankings. Surpassing many strong competitors in the region and the world such as Bangalore Airport in India, New Chitose Airport in Japan and Kuala Lumpur Airport in Malaysia, Da Nang has risen to 84th place, up 10 places compared to 2024. In addition, Da Nang International Airport was also honored in 9th place in the top 10 best airports in Asia, a proud achievement affirming the quality of service, modern infrastructure and passenger experience at the airport are increasingly improved, meeting strict international standards.
For Da Nang International Airport, this is the second consecutive time the airport has been honored in the top 100 best airports in the world announced by Skytrax.
In 2025, Da Nang International Airport will be ranked 84th in this prestigious ranking, up 10 places compared to 2024.
According to the leadership of Da Nang International Airport, this is an important milestone, demonstrating the continuous commitment to bringing the best experiences to passengers. Previously, in 2023, Skytrax honored Da Nang Airport as the world's most improved airport and the best regional airport in Asia, continuing to affirm the remarkable efforts and achievements of this airport. As the largest airport in the Central Highlands region, with a total area of up to 842 hectares, Da Nang Airport is currently serving an average of more than 260 domestic and international flights per day, with a total passenger traffic of more than 40,000. Particularly for international flights, there are an average of more than 50 landings and take-offs per day in Da Nang, demonstrating the important role of this airport in connecting the region with international friends.
This is an important milestone, affirming that the quality of service, infrastructure and passenger experience at Da Nang International Airport is increasingly being improved.
The World Airport Awards were initiated by Skytrax in 1999, based on its first global airport customer satisfaction survey. Since then, the award has become a widely recognized quality standard worldwide, comprehensively assessing aspects of customer service and facilities at more than 500 airports worldwide. The fact that two major Vietnamese airports are continuously honored in this prestigious ranking is not only a source of pride but also a driving force for the Vietnamese aviation industry to continue to develop and reach international standards, affirming its position as an attractive and quality destination in the region.
