Singapore, 22 May 2025
Singapore Changi Airport has once again solidified its position as a global leader in aviation, reclaiming the title of World’s Best Airport for 2025 at the prestigious Skytrax World Airport Awards. This marks the 13th time Changi has received the honor since the awards' inception in 1999—a testament to its enduring commitment to innovation, service, and passenger experience.
Held this year in Madrid during the Passenger Terminal EXPO, the awards are widely regarded as the aviation industry's most prestigious accolades, based on millions of passenger surveys conducted across more than 500 airports worldwide.
A Multi-Award-Winning Hub
In addition to winning the top title, Changi Airport also took home several other key honors:
These distinctions reflect Changi’s emphasis on holistic excellence—ensuring every part of the traveler’s journey, from food to facilities, meets the highest standards.
What Makes Changi Exceptional?
Unlike many global airports that focus purely on transit efficiency, Changi has built a reputation for transforming travel into an experience. The airport’s integrated design blends technology, nature, and entertainment, redefining what airports can be.
Jewel Changi Airport, the crown jewel of the terminal complex, remains a major draw for both travelers and locals. Featuring the world’s tallest indoor waterfall, lush gardens, and a canopy park, Jewel is more than a terminal—it’s a destination. From immersive digital attractions to a 14-meter-high rock climbing wall and a live butterfly garden, Changi offers amenities unlike any other airport in the world.
Cleanliness and comfort are also top priorities. In 2025, Changi was ranked the second-cleanest airport in the world, just behind Tokyo Haneda, reinforcing its consistent delivery of top-tier hygiene and maintenance standards.
Eyes on the Future: Terminal 5
Looking ahead, Singapore is not resting on its laurels. Changi Airport has begun construction on Terminal 5, a mega infrastructure project that spans over 1,080 hectares. Designed to future-proof the airport against rising air traffic, T5 will add capacity for an additional 50 million passengers per year and is expected to be completed in the mid-2030s.
With this expansion, Changi aims to elevate its services further, incorporating smart design, contactless technologies, and sustainable infrastructure—all while maintaining the warmth and hospitality that define the Changi experience.
More Than an Airport
In the words of many global travelers, Changi is not just a transit hub—it’s part of the journey itself. By combining operational excellence with innovation and human-centric design, Singapore Changi Airport continues to set the gold standard for airports worldwide.
Whether you're catching a connecting flight, enjoying a gourmet meal, or just marveling at the Rain Vortex in Jewel, one thing is clear—Changi doesn’t just move people. It moves the world.
