Bahrain Named World's Cleanest Airport In 2025 By Skytrax
Bahrain International Airport has achieved global recognition as the World's Cleanest Airport for 2025 in the category of airports handling up to 25 million passengers, according to the UK- based air transport rating organization, Skytrax. This prestigious distinction places Bahrain at the forefront of global aviation hygiene standards, further reinforcing the Kingdom's commitment to excellence in travel infrastructure and passenger experience. Japan also celebrated significant success, with Tokyo Haneda Airport earning the title of the World's Cleanest Major International Airport, topping the global list for cleanliness among high- traffic terminals. The Japanese capital's gateway outshined other prominent hubs, while Centrair Nagoya, Tokyo Narita, Kansai, and Osaka Itami were also ranked among the cleanest airports in the world across both main and mid-sized categories. In Skytrax's World's Cleanest Airports 2025 (Up to 25 Million Passengers) list, Bahrain led the top 10, followed by: Bahrain International Airport New Chitose Airport (Japan) Centrair Nagoya (Japan) Osaka Itami Airport (Japan) Helsinki-Vantaa (Finland) Adelaide Airport (Australia) Cam Ranh International Airport (Vietnam) Quito International Airport (Ecuador) Houston Hobby Airport (USA) Brisbane Airport (Australia) Meanwhile, Singapore Changi Airport reclaimed the top honor as the World's Best Airport 2025, receiving multiple accolades including the World's Best Airport Dining, Best Airport Washrooms, and Best Airport in Asia. This marks the 13th time Changi has secured the leading title at the World Airport Awards, held last month at the Passenger Terminal Expo in Madrid. Yam Kum Weng, CEO of Changi Airport Group, expressed gratitude for the continued recognition: 'Changi Airport is honoured to be named by Skytrax as the World's Best Airport for the 13th time. It is indeed gratifying to receive this recognition, which certainly encourages us to continue striving to provide the best travel experience.' Doha's Hamad International Airport, previously a three-time winner of the World's Best Airport title, was ranked second overall in 2025 and won awards for the World's Best Airport Shopping and Best Airport in the Middle East.

World's top 20 airports for 2025 revealed — and the US had a dreadful showing
A new ranking has revealed the world's best airport — and a record has been broken. Singapore Changi Airport has been crowned the world's best airport for 2025, according to the Skytrax World Airport Awards. It's a record-busting 13th time the hub, one of the busiest passenger airports for Southeast Asia, has won the title from the rating service. 3 A bridge links to the Rain Vortex dome at the Jewel shopping mall at Singapore Changi Airport.

However, the Skytrax ranking for Best Airport in North America saw one of New York's take a top spot. LaGuardia Airport was named the best in the nifty 50 for domestic and short-haul international travel. 'A decade ago, the suggestion that LaGuardia Airport would one day be recognized on the world stage as the best regional airport in North America would have been laughable,' Port Authority Executive Director Rick Cotton admitted in a statement. 'But the Port Authority and our private partners have built what we promised – a world-class airport, with inspiring architecture, public art, iconic concessions and state-of-the-art technology that has propelled LaGuardia from worst to best in the nation in the eyes of the critics and passengers alike.' It's an improvement from last year's fourth-place spot for LGA. Plaisted added that 'LaGuardia Airport's evolution over the past decade is nothing short of extraordinary.' Back to the list-topper, Singapore Changi Airport is known for its unrivaled passenger experience — but it's also a destination within itself. It features a 10-story shopping mall, multiple indoor gardens, a butterfly center, a spa, hotels, art exhibitions, a museum, a cinema, a dinosaur theme park and the Rain Vortex, which is the world's largest indoor waterfall at around 130 feet tall. Early check-in has even been introduced there, allowing flyers to drop their bags off up to 48 hours in advance so they can spend time at the much-appreciated stop as part of their vacation. Changi also received other awards from Skytrax, including the World's Best Airport Dining, the Best Airport in Asia, and its first-ever award for World's Best Airport Washrooms. 3 Tourists sleep on sofas in Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 4. ruelleruelle/UCG/Universal Images Group via Getty Images 'The diversity and expansive choice of dining outlets is also recognized with Changi Airport winning the award for the World's Best Airport Dining,' Edward Plaisted, CEO of Skytrax, said in a statement. 'With washrooms being a major driver of customer satisfaction during their airport experience, we congratulate Singapore Changi Airport on receiving the first ever World's Best Airport Washrooms award.' The world's second-best airport, according to the report, is Hamad International in Qatar, known for its artwork and architecture. It also won awards for Best Airport Shipping and Best Airport in the Middle East. Spots three through six were nabbed by Asian airports. Tokyo Haneda, also named the World's Cleanest Airport, came in third place. Fourth was Seoul's Incheon International, which was also awarded World's Best Airport Staff, followed by Narita International in fifth and Hong Kong International in sixth. 3 The Rain Vortex at Singapore Changi Airport is the world's largest indoor waterfall, at around 130 feet tall.
