Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • Skytrax rankings are driven by more than 13 million passenger votes; YVR's 15th regional win and 10th-place global ranking are a measurable indicator of sustained passenger experience and brand strength.
  • Singapore Changi's 14th World's Best Airport title — and Hamad Airport's withdrawal — reshuffles hub prestige and competitive positioning among global transfer hubs; Changi's strong 2025 traffic and operational investments provide context for its win (see source:98f22866-d6b5-40d3-abda-f0ad8900a8cb and source:d2215dd2-bf08-46ae-acc7-8fc4c7929203).
