2005 World Airport Awards

The 2005 World Airport Awards (http://www.airlinequality.com/2005/airport-05-press.htm) were released this June.

“Worldwide survey interviews totaled a massive 5,584,365 respondents - a 15 per cent increase on the 2004 result. Over 90 different passenger nationalities participated, the highest contingent from Europe and North America, with Asian countries of Korea, China/Hong Kong and Taiwan also very well represented.”

The results were:

The World's Top 10 Airports - 2005

1 Hong Kong International Airport
2 Singapore Changi Airpor
3 Seoul Incheon Airport
4 Munich Airport
5 Kansai International Airport
6 Dubai International Airport
7 KLIA Kuala Lumpur
8 Amsterdam Schiphol Airport
9 Copenhagen Airport
10 Sydney Airport

“One of Asia's newest airports, Seoul Incheon in South Korea was ranked third Best Airport in the world - well ranked for ease of navigation, terminal cleanliness and facilities. A drawback for Incheon appears to be the lack of express ground transportation. An airport becoming more popular with transit passengers, Incheon needs a high-speed rail connection into downtown Seoul to better satisfy passengers departing from, or arriving into Seoul itself.”
