North America better step up its airport game.

Not a single one appeared on the Skytracks World’s Best Airports 2017 list. For the fifth consecutive year, the top honour goes to Singapore Changi International Airport. Is there anything Singapore isn’t good at?

While the number one spot is unchanged, there’s been some fluctuation in the rest of the top 10, with Doha’s Hamad airport leapfrogging to number six from number 22 in 2015. Click through the gallery to see who else made the list.
