AAHK Introduces Financial Incentives for Airlines to Expand Routes to HKIA

Traveling for business can be both exhilarating and exhausting, and often, the experience begins and ends at the airport. For frequent flyers, airports are more than just gateways; they’re hubs of efficiency or frustration, comfort or chaos.

From seamless security procedures to ample amenities and convenient transportation options, the best airports are a sanctuary for weary business travelers, offering a seamless journey from check-in to boarding. On the flip side, the worst airports can be a source of endless delays, overcrowded terminals, and subpar services, turning what should be a smooth journey into a nightmare of inconvenience.

A recent survey conducted among business travelers has unveiled the top performers and those that fall short in meeting their expectations.

Here’s a breakdown of the best and worst airports according to their ratings:

Rank	Airport	Country	Avg Rating

2	Changi Airport	Singapore	6.63
3	Hong Kong International Airport	China	6.48
4	Hamad International Airport	Qatar	6.44
5	Helsinki-Vantaa Airport	Finland	6.36
6	Narita International Airport	Japan	6.23
7	Haneda Airport	Japan	5.82
8	Kempegowda International Airport	India	5.56
9	Taoyuan International Airport	Taiwan	5.29
10	Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport	India	5.22
11	Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport	Hungary	5.10

18	Ngurah Rai International Airport	Indonesia	4.40
19	Midway International Airport	United States	4.37
20	Incheon International Airport	South Korea	4.33

Topping the charts is Noi Bai International Airport in Vietnam, impressing with its services and efficiency, as rated by the discerning business community. Singapore’s Changi Airport, known for its luxurious amenities and smooth operations, follows closely behind.

However, not all airports receive such glowing reviews. Despite being major hubs, Incheon International Airport in South Korea and Midway International Airport in the United States fall towards the bottom of the list, leaving business travelers less than impressed.

These rankings shed light on the airports that excel in catering to the needs of business travelers, ensuring seamless experiences and efficient transit, while also highlighting areas for improvement in others.
