KLIA Lowest Ranking in Skytrax World’s Top 100 Airports 2020

The Skytrax World’s Top 100 Airports 2020 is out and KLIA drops to the lowest ranking ever. Last year, we blogged about KLIA Ranking Drops Again in Skytrax World’s Top 100 Airports 2019 and they were rated 54^th out of 100 Airports. This year, KLIA is ranked 63^rd in Skytrax World’s Top 100 Airports 2020.

KLIA is ranked 63^rd after 54^th in 2019 and after the refurbishments and upgrade they did for Visit Malaysia Year 2020. Not forgetting the upgrades for the toilets and the immigration autogate counters but it didn’t help the Skytrax World’s Top 100 Airports 2020 ranking too.

Singapore’s Changi Airport on the other hand retains its 1^st position in Skytrax World’s Top 100 Airports since 2013 for the eighth consecutive year. Singapore Airport Terminal 1 opened in 1981, T2 in 1990, T3 in 2008 and T4 in 2017. Singapore Airport Terminal 2 currently is closed for upgrading.

Why Changi Airport has been winning since 2013? Take a walk and look at Changi Airport and see what they have done to improve the airport with new facilities, new events, new technology, new food & beverage outlets and overall experience.

KLIA Ranking Drops Again in Skytrax World’s Top 100 Airports 2020 but it is still in the Top 100 ranking. We really hope Malaysia Airports to look at what they can do to bring back KLIA back to the glory days.
