This Muslim country tops 2025 world's best airports list; not Dubai, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, name is..., India is ranked at...
Inaugurated in 2018, Istanbul Airport was ranked number 1, due to its rapid growth of international connectivity and premium experience offered to passengers. Earlier, Singapore's Changi Airport was deemed the world's best airport. However, this time, it has dropped in rank 2.
Changi Airport is well-known for stunning architecture, the world's tallest indoor waterfall, and more than 600,000 plants for greenery. Singapore Changi Airport received an impressive score of 95.20.
Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport has also made the Travel + Leisure list, ranked as the 9th best airport in the world. What is even more special about this is that Mumbai Airport is India's first and the third airport in the world to achieve Level 5 in Airport Customer Experience accreditation — the highest level of this recognition. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport received an impressive score of 84.23.
According to the report, the rankings were based on feedback from seasoned travelers across the globe. Travelers selected airports that had top-flight food and bar options, entertainment options, and simply a comfortable environment overall. This is why so many airports today are no longer just planned stopovers but they have become destinations in which people would enjoy spending time. This year's list also had a strong presence of airports from the Middle East and Asia.
The rankings of the top 5 clearly show that Middle Eastern airports are taking the lead. All Western airports are falling behind in the scorecard in terms of advanced technology, reliable wayfinding, and great passenger facilities. Hamad International Airport, Doha, stood in 3rd position with a score of 92.34
