Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) has been recognized as the world's best airport for the sixth time in seven years in the annual Skytrax survey, announced Airport Authority Hong Kong on Wednesday.
　
Nearly 8 million people participated in the global passenger poll, which was conducted by Skytrax, an independent, London-based air transport research organization. 

The Chief Executive Officer of Airport Authority Hong Kong Stanley Hui said that being named the world's best airport was a source of pride for the people of Hong Kong.
　
"We will continue to enhance our facilities and provide quality services so that we can deliver an efficient and pleasant airport experience to all of our passengers," he added. 

Skytrax Chief Executive Officer Edward Plaisted said, "Hong Kong's return to the top this year is a testament to the quality of service being delivered across their front-line staff areas, together with the more functional aspects of an airport that depend upon delivering efficiency and consistency."
　
From August 2006 to July 2007, 7.8 million passengers across the globe voted in the Airport of the Year Survey. Forty aspects of product and service quality were rated, including terminal cleanliness, staff efficiency and courtesy, airport accessibility, shopping and dining options, Internet services, as well as security processing and immigration waiting times.
　
In this year's survey, Seoul Incheon International Airport and Singapore Changi Airport tied for second place, while Munich Airport and Kuala Lumpur International Airport ranked fourth and fifth, respectively.
　
HKIA was voted the world's best airport in Skytrax surveys from 2001 to 2005.
