Top 10 most popular international airports in the world

Recently, SKYTRAX, the world-famous British independent aviation industry survey organization, officially launched a list of the world's top ten most popular international airports after collating survey data of more than 13 million passengers throughout the year. If you travel through the following airports, you might as well give these airports a little more time and slowly explore the reasons why they are popular.

TOP 10 Beijing Capital International Airport (China)

As the airport of the capital of China, Beijing Capital International Airport is currently the civil airport with the largest throughput in China. At the same time, Capital Airport is China's most important large-scale international airport with the largest scale, most complete equipment, and busiest transportation and production. It is also the base airport of Air China (Air China). According to statistics, the passenger throughput of Capital Airport exceeded 86.12 million, second only to Atlanta International Airport in the United States.

In -'s TOP10 list, Capital Airport is firmly ranked fifth. Xiaowo believes that the slightly lower ranking this time may be related to the drop in on-time performance caused by weather conditions; secondly, the slower check-in counter efficiency of the Capital Airport, the quality of the wireless network, and the lack of information announcements in the terminal all require the Capital Airport Airports face up to and improve. As China’s gateway to the outside world, Capital Airport is striving to achieve a higher ranking in 2016.

TOP 9 Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (Netherlands)

Amsterdam Schiphol Airport is the main airport of Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, and the main entry and exit gateway for the Netherlands. Located on the outskirts of the city southwest of Amsterdam, Schiphol Airport is actually located in Haarlemmermeer, North Holland Province. It currently has five main runways that can take off and land large civil aircraft, and one auxiliary runway mainly used for general aviation. . In terms of passenger and cargo throughput, it competes with London Heathrow Airport in the UK, Frankfurt International Airport in Germany, Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport in France and Madrid-Barajas International Airport in Spain.

In the reference list, Schiphol Airport fell from third place to ninth place. The former Schiphol Airport won the favor of European people with its ultra-high intelligent customs clearance technology, which can effectively reduce the waiting time of passengers. However, as electronic tickets are beginning to be popularized in various airports and passenger traffic at Schiphol Airport is increasing day by day, the airport's humanized facilities seem to have not kept pace. The wireless network is good, the shopping experience is good, and the terminal catering is also good, but most passengers can only stand.

TOP 8 London Heathrow Airport (UK)

London Heathrow Airport, often referred to as Heathrow Airport, is located in the Hillingdon District of Greater London, England, United Kingdom, away from the center of London. 15 miles (24 kilometers) away.

It is London's main international airport and one of the busiest airports in the UK and even the world. , the total passenger volume ranks third among many airports in the world, second only to Atlanta Airport in the United States and Beijing Capital International Airport in China. Since the airport operates many cross-border flights, Heathrow Airport has the highest passenger volume in terms of cross-border passenger volume. Similarly, Heathrow Airport has the largest passenger volume in Europe.

Heathrow Airport has moved up one place in the ranking compared with previous years. This is related to the airport's efficient entry and exit system. At the same time, Heathrow Airport mainly accommodates large wide-body passenger aircraft, such as Boeing 777 and Airbus A380, with a small number of flights but a large number of passengers. Xiaowo helped everyone read the reviews of Waiguoren. They mainly said that the food choices provided by the airport were too few (what else do you want), the attitude of the staff was average, and the terminal instructions were not clear enough. However, Heathrow Airport’s seating arrangements, comprehensive shopping malls and cleanliness in the waiting area are all highly praised by the public. When everyone is preparing to return, shopping at Heathrow Airport makes you feel happy just thinking about it. .
