HK International Airport Voted World's Best Airport

Hong Kong International Airport has been voted the world's best airport for the second year running, according to an independent survey conducted by London-based Skytrax Research.

The survey was based on the views of 1.4 million passengers polled between September last year and March this year.

"Hong Kong has clearly established itself as a firm favorite among the traveling public," said Skytrax chief executive Edward Plaisted, quoted by Sunday's South China Morning Post.

"Analysis of final votes shows its support to be far spread and not just restricted to Asian passengers. Europeans, North Americans and Australians in particular stated strong preferences for Hong Kong."

The award took into account a range of factors including quality of service, ambience, signposting, distance between gates, and passenger facilities such as toilets and shopping areas.

According to the votes, Singapore's Changi Airport was second, followed by Sydney's Kingsford Smith International Airport. Last year's runner-up, Kuala Lumpur International Airport, slipped to eighth position.
