In April, Hamad International Airport (HIA) in Doha, Qatar was listed as the World’s Best Airport in the 2024 Skytrax World Airport Awards. This is the third time it has won the award – the first was in 2021, and then again in 2022.

Last year, Singapore Changi Airport held the title, but it slid down to the #2 spot in the 2024 list. Changi has actually won the award 12 times, including its consecutive wins from 2013 to 2020, but since the pandemic, HIA has been its “fiercest” rival.
