The best airports in the world for 2021 have been determined.
It is exciting to be among the top places this year.
Because an underdog suddenly makes it to first place.
An airport invites many travelers to dream.
The busy crowd together with the travel mood make up the incomparable atmosphere at airports.
But vacationers and business travelers do not dream of every airport, because some are already very old, very small or look bleak.
In return, however, there are real oases of well-being among the airports.
The consulting company “Skytrax” has determined which airport travelers * are best at.
Passengers from all over the world were able to name the best airports.
A German airport is also among the top ten.
Best airports in the world: which criteria are important?
The travelers determined the best airport in the world
according to very
different criteria
.
This includes waiting times, cleanliness, how easy it is to get to the airport and how friendly the staff is on site.
An additional criterion this year was that the corona pandemic also played a role.
Because these impressions could also have influenced the travelers' ratings.
Because this year a new airport is right at the front.
Also interesting:
Due to Corona, popular travel destination will not be open to tourists again until 2022 - and not for everyone
.
The world's largest cargo airport,
Hong Kong International Airport
, only made it to the bottom of the leaderboard.
Although the passenger handling is done quickly thanks to its 80 customs offices and 288 check-in counters, it does not seem to have been enough for the airport for a higher position.
Japan's Kansai International Airport
ranks ninth
.
In the previous year, he brought up the rear.
Best airport in 2021: German airport among the best
Eighth and seventh place go to
London Heathrow and Zurich Airport
. Both were not yet on the list of the best in 2020. But that was only a short dry spell, because in 2019 both airports fought for top positions among the best. The only German airport on the list of the best had to lose a place compared to 2020. The
Munich Airport
ranks sixth. But it receives another trophy, because the passengers also voted Munich Airport the best airport in Europe.
Tokyo Narita Airport in Japan took
fifth place this year
.
This is followed in fourth place by
Incheon International Airport in South Korea
and in third place by
Changi Airport in Singapore
.
Particularly interesting: Japan occupies a total of three out of ten places on the list of the best.
Because
Tokyo International Airport
is in second place.
But it was not enough for the country to take the top spot.
This year a candidate will receive this who did not even make it into the top ten last year.

Airport leaderboard: This will be the best airport in the world in 2021
The
Hamad International Airport in Doha in Qatar takes
the brilliant first place and is the best airport in the world in 2021. And not without reason, because it is
one of the most luxurious airports of all
. Designer giants like Gucci and Burberry each have luxury boutiques there. In addition to the tasteful business lounge, there is also a pool that can be used by anyone for a fee. The architecture of the airport is also highly praised by many travelers and passengers. According to a CNN travel expert, the airport alone is reason enough to visit Qatar. It remains to be seen whether he can defend this top position next year. (slo)
