In the Skytrax World Airport Awards 2024, Singapore's Changi Airport, which had won the title 12 times, was dethroned as the world's best airport by Doha's Hamad International Airport.

Hong Kong International Airport (HIA) moved up 22 positions to rank 11th in the world due to a rise in passenger numbers after recovering from Covid-19.

No US airports were in the top 10, with Seattle-Tacoma being the highest ranked at 24th.

Europe had a strong showing, with Paris Charles de Gaulle, Munich, Zurich, and Istanbul maintaining top 10 positions.
