Qatar’s Hamad International Airport has been named the ‘World’s Best Airport’ at the ‘Skytrax 2021 World Airport Awards’. The announcement that was made in London was telecast live at a media event at the Hamad International Airport tonight. The 2021 World Airport Awards recognise the efforts of global airports in adapting and meeting the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic. The past 18 months has been the most challenging and financially difficult period ever experienced by the world air transport industry, and airports have invested to provide the safest possible environment for their customers and staff during the global pandemic. Covid-19 has impacted some regions and airports more than others, with many areas having few, if any, international routes operating for more than a year.
