SINGAPORE: Changi Airport has been ranked the world’s second most family-friendly airport in a new survey by British air transport rating organisation Skytrax, as reported by VnExpress International.
Istanbul Airport clinched the top spot as the World’s Most Family-Friendly Airport 2025.
Following Changi Airport were Seoul Incheon in third, Tokyo Narita in fourth, and Bahrain in fifth. Other airports in the top 10 included Munich (6), Amsterdam Schiphol (7), Doha Hamad (8), Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) (9), and Rome Fiumicino (10).
Skytrax’s ranking was based on customer ratings of the quality and quantity of family-friendly initiatives at each airport. These included dedicated family security lanes, immigration clearance processes, play areas, and baby and childcare rooms.
Changi Airport recently awarded S$4.75 billion in contracts for the construction of its Terminal 5 expansion.
Changi Airport, which spans over one million square metres (sq m) across four terminals—roughly the size of 156 football fields—was named the world’s best airport in December last year, according to the 2024 Airline Ratings Readers’ Choice Awards. It was also ranked the fifth most Instagrammable airport in October by Singapore-based travel site Miss Tourist. /TISG
