Hong Kong airport ranked 5th best in the world overall, and 1st in dining

Hong Kong International Airport was ranked the fifth best in the world for a second year during the “Oscars of aviation” earlier this week.

Singapore’s Changi Airport retained its first place title for the fifth year running in this year’s World Airport Awards, organised by British aviation consultancy Skytrax. Second, third, and fourth were Tokyo International Airport (Haneda), Incheon International Airport, and Munich International Airport, respectively.

HKIA previously held the top spot from 2001-2005, 2007-2008, and 2011, but has been slowly inching down the ranks since 2011, sliding from 3rd place in 2012 to 5th in 2016. However, all is not lost, as we won in best dining, came second in best passenger immigration service, and seventh in both shopping and cleanliness.
