Filipinos will be pleased to hear their long maligned Ninoy Aquino International Airport Manila Airport, crowned worst airport three years in a row before slipping to fourth place last year, didn’t even make this year’s top 10.
.
Saudi Arabia’s Jeddah King Abdulaziz International Airport held onto its position as world’s second worst airport.
.
Voters were annoyed by the chaotic, crowded, unclean airport — particularly within the Hajj terminal.
.
“From smoking in non-smoking areas to the bathroom odor wafting out into the lounges, few people sang praises after spending time here,” said Sleeping in Airports.
.
“Multi-hour immigration queues with distracted and absent officers further aggravated travelers.”
Fortunately, the site said Jeddah’s days on the list are likely numbered — the new Jeddah Airport is scheduled to open mid-2016.
.
Nepal’s Kathmandu Tribhuvan International Airport held onto the same spot as last year — third.
.
Last year’s worst airport, Benazir Bhutto International Airport in Islamabad, Pakistan, slipped to ninth place, while Tashkent International Airport in Uzbekistan rose a spot to move from fifth to fourth place.
.
Not a single United States airport appeared in this year’s top 10, though Europe can’t say the same.
France’s Beauvais-Tille Airport slipped in to land the number 10 spot.
.
