A worldwide passenger survey voted Incheon International Airport in South Korea the best airport in the world. The award came in the annual survey by the Airports Council International, an organisation composed of almost all the world's airports.
100,000 detailed passenger surveys at the 66 major airports was the basis for the annual contest this year. Asian airports dominated the survey, although Canada made a strong showing, with Halifax taking one of the top awards.
The prizes were awarded at the Geneva-based organization's annual meeting, held this year in Abu Dhabi. Singapore and Hong Kong were awarded second place in the world, while third place went to Kuala Lumpur.
Incheon dominated the survey, receiving two of the three top worldwide categories, 'Best Airport 2005 Worldwide' and 'Most Improved Airport 2005,' with Vancouver and Singapore taking second and third place in the most improved category. Halifax, in Nova Scotia, won the third top category, 'Best Domestic Airport 2005.'
