Hong Kong airport places fifth again in annual world rankings as Singapore scores four years at the top
Airport also places in top 10 for hotels, shopping, cleanliness and staff service
Hong Kong International Airport has retained its position in fifth place in the annual Skytrax rankings of the best terminals, while Singapore tops the list for the fourth year in a row.
Hong Kong won top honours in the Skytrax World Airport Awards for dining and secured top 10 finishes for its hotels (3rd and 5th), shopping (3rd), cleanliness (7th), and staff service (9th).
In the overall best airport category, HKIA, while still the world’s most profitable, finished fifth – identical to last year – while Singapore’s Changi Airport retained top honours for the fourth straight year, finishing ahead of Tokyo Haneda, Seoul Incheon, and Munich.
Organised by British aviation consultancy Skytrax, the awards were determined by votes cast by air travellers based on 13.8 million questionnaires at 550 airports worldwide.
The Airport Authority, which runs HKIA, delivered HK$8.35 billion in profits, according to latest full year results from 2015/2016. The airport is in the midst of a major expansion to construct a third runway due in 2023 at a cost of HK$141.5 billion.
