Top 10 Best International Airports in the World, Changi Remains in 1st

August 22, 2025 | 04:21 pm

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Skytrax has revealed the 2025 edition for the annual prestigious aviator competition, hailing Singapore Changi Airport as the best international airport prized for its top-tier hospitality, luxurious amenities, best foods, and premium entertainment sources. 

Previously, Changi reluctantly gave up its decade-long accolades to Hamad International Airport, Doha, Qatar, where the Middle East aviation station received nods from passengers and critics, most notably for its prime transit area.

Serving as a crucial gateway for global tourists along the stripe of New Zealand, Brazil, and San Francisco, Hamad transforms into a more like a high-end one stop rest center, dotted with elaborate shopping areas and cozy hotel services. 

Singapore Changi Crowned as The World’s Best Airport

As the rightful title holder of the world’s best international airport, Singapore Changi dazzles visitors beyond its runways with its mesmerizing interiors. While French-designed ceiling installations soaring above the heads, the Jewel waterfall commands attention below, making a layover not just a pause between flights, but rather an experience in itself. 

For multiple years already, Singapore Changi never once left the top ten position, proving time and time again to be an unmistakably best-rated airport. From colorful art exhibitions and stunning garden spectacles to brilliant shopping galore, Singapore Changi Airport reserves unrivaled facilities for all kinds of travelers.
