Astana and Almaty Airports Named Best in the Region by Skytrax 2025
At the Skytrax World Airport Awards 2025, Almaty International Airport was crowned Best Regional Airport in Central Asia and the CIS, while its Terminal 2 earned global recognition as the Best New Terminal in the World.
Meanwhile, Astana International Airport won the award for Best Airport Staff in the Region.
These accolades, often dubbed the Oscars of Aviation, are based on independent global passenger surveys, evaluating everything from:
- Passenger comfort and convenience

Despite regional success, Kazakhstan’s airports haven't yet cracked the global top 100. Sitting at the top again is Singapore’s Changi Airport – a well-deserved win.
Changi isn’t just an airport. It’s a full-blown destination. Highlights include the 10-story Jewel complex, a 40-meter indoor waterfall, tropical gardens, a butterfly sanctuary, a dinosaur park, art galleries, and a bar staffed by robots.
Sure, we may not be Changi yet. But these achievements mark a major step forward for Kazakhstan’s growing aviation industry.
