It is serious about being the planet's best airport. Size obviously does **t matter: Singapore may be tiny but it is ** mean feat to be crowned the world's best Airport for the fifth time in a row. Changi Airport is working hard to boost travellers' and visitors' experiences with more and better amenities, expand and increase its capacity, incorporate tech**logy in its day to day running as well as maintain its status as the world's leading air hub. While Singapore's Jewel at Changi Airport is shaping up for a glitzy beginning come early 2019, Hong Kong International Airport's Skycity is the territory's answer to Singapore's upcoming lifestyle and retail haven. Hong Kong is striving to turn its Airport into a destination centre in a bid to compete with Changi Airport to be Asia's best air hub. Plans are underway to build a 25-hectare waterfront development next to the passenger terminals at Hong Kong International Airport. This is hands down one of the biggest commercial projects in land-scarce Hong Kong till **w. A major integrated development that houses dining areas, retail complexes, entertainment facilities, hotels and even ******s, Skycity sounds pretty exciting. If you are excited about Hong Kong's Skycity, be prepared to wait it out since the completion date of Skycity's first phase is forecast to Take place between 2022 and 2025. Besides battling it out in what both major integrated projects have to offer in the realm of dining, shopping and entertainment, as well as boosting business and tourism opportunities for each respective country, an important aspect lies in connectivity. Singapore may be a tiny city state in this vast globe, but you'd be surprised to learn that award-winning Changi Airport is doing a fantastic job at being the dynamic air hub that she is. For starters, about once every 100 seconds, a flight takes off or lands at Changi Airport. Changi Airport is home to more than 100 carriers servicing a whopping 380 cities across 80 countries and territories around the world. It is **t surprising then that Changi Airport handled a record-breaking 58.7 million passengers last year. Although more than 100 airlines operate at Hong Kong International Airport, at the moment, these carriers fly to around 190 destinations globally on a daily basis. It should be **ted that two very important connectivity projects - the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge and the Tuen Mun-Chek Lap Kok Link - that both Skycity and Hong Kong International Airport will benefit from are under construction right **w. These two road links will certainly help enhance Hong Kong's appeal as an air hub particularly for travellers going between the greater Hong Kong region as well as the Pearl River Delta region in Guangdong. Hong Kong International Airport has been ranked as the world's fifth best Airport in 2017 by Skytrax. To reiterate, Singapore Changi Airport is world's best Airport in 2017 as well as the previous four years. Like GET.com on Facebook or sign up to GET.com's FREE money saving email!
