Changi voted world's best for 3rd year

Changi voted world's best for 3rd year


STERLING RECORD: This is the sixth time that Changi Airport has won the title at the World Airport Awards. Changi also won Best Airport for Leisure Amenities for the seventh time.

Changi Airport has been voted the World's Best Airport by travellers for the third year in a row at the 2015 World Airport Awards.

This is the sixth time that Changi Airport has won this title at the awards, held at the Passenger Terminal Expo in Paris.

Edward Plaisted, chief executive of Britain-based consultancy Skytrax, which organised the awards, said the repeat win was no surprise.

"Rather than dwell on earlier success, the airport continues to innovate and concentrate on making the customer experience in the airport environment the most enjoyable," said Mr Plaisted.

Changi Airport also won Best Airport for Leisure Amenities for the seventh time, thanks to its facilities such as music bar lounges, swimming pool and the in-terminal Ambassador Transit Hotel.

Changi Airport Group CEO Lee Seow Hiang said the recognition was "particularly pleasing", as it comes during significant development projects such as Terminal 4 and Jewel Changi Airport, which have had works taking place amid ongoing airport operations.

"We are most grateful to all our passengers and partners who have, nonetheless, continued to give us their strongest support," said Mr Lee.

The World Airport Awards is based on Skytrax's survey, which is widely recognised as the largest annual global airport customer satisfaction survey. The results are based on 13.02 million customer nominations across air travellers of 112 nationalities and include 550 airports worldwide.

The survey evaluates customer satisfaction across 39 key performance indicators for airport services and products, from check-in, arrivals, transfers, shopping, security and immigration to departure at the gate.
