In its 25th year of judging airports based on passenger surveys, the aviation ranking website Stytrax revealed on Thursday the world's best airports for 2024.
The results are based on customer surveys collected between August 2023 and March 2024 that ask about the airport experience from curb to gate.
Of 570 airports worldwide, Doha Hamad International Airport in Qatar beat out Singapore Changi Airport in what has been a back-and-forth battle for years. Doha won in both 2021 and 2022 but took second to Changi last year.
Among the top 10 were only European and Asian airports — none in the US made the cut. In fact, the only North American airport to break the top 20 was Vancouver International Airport in Canada at number 17.
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport was the highest-ranking US airport on Skytrax's 2024 list but came in at only number 24, according to Skytrax. It made the top 20 last year at number 18.
New York City metro airports, including LaGuardia Airport and John F. Kennedy International Airport, made the top 100 at numbers 33 and 93, respectively. Both have seen multibillion-dollar improvement projects in recent years.
Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey, meanwhile, notched an award for the best new terminal of 2024. The Houston airport system also won an award for having the world's best airport art.
