Aviation rating firm SkyTrax has announced its annual World Airports Awards for 2022 and Asia and Europe dominated the list.

The organization uses global customer satisfaction surveys taken from 2021 to 2022 to determine the top airports.

According to SkyTrax, the surveys, which include over 550 airports worldwide, are the "quality benchmark for the world airport industry" and are "independent of any airport control, influence or input."

The survey covers things like terminal layout, comfort, seating, WiFi availability, restaurant options, retail vendors, and level of staff service, per the firm.

Doha's Hamad International Airport held onto its crown this year after being named the top airport in the world in 2021.

Last year was the first time in eight years that Singapore's Changi International Airport was dethroned as the number one airport.

Today, we bring to you top 10 airports in the world.

Among the top 20 airports in the world, there were 10 in Asia and 10 in Europe. Australia's Melbourne International Airport came in at number 26, while only two North American airports made the top 30, including Seattle-Tacoma and Vancouver.

Overall, 12 US airports managed to crack the top 100 list, while Canada only earned three spots.

Here's a closer look at some top airports in the world, according to SkyTrax.

Rounding out the top five airports in the world is South Korea's Incheon International Airport.

The airport is a major international gateway and is home to several carriers, including Air Busan, Air Incheon, Air Seoul, Asiana Airlines, Eastar Jet, FedEx Express, Jeju Air, Jin Air, Korean Air, Polar Air Cargo, and T'way Air.

Incheon is also a focus city for Thai Airways, China Eastern Airlines, and China Southern Airlines.

Japan's Narita International Airport stayed in the top five this year, coming in at number four.

The airport is the second-largest in the city and a main international gateway into the Greater Tokyo region.

Narita was named the best airport for five to 10 million passengers and serves as a hub for Japan Airlines, All Nippon Airways, Jetstar Japan, Nippon Cargo Airlines, Peach, Spring Airlines Japan, and ZIPAIR Tokyo.

3. Singapore Changi Airport

After losing its crown in 2021, Singapore Changi Airport has been named the third-best airport in the world for 2022.

The airport earned the top title from 2013 to 2020 but was beat out by Doha's Hamad International Airport last year.

Despite once-again falling short, the airport still won several awards this year, including best airport staff in the world and Asia, best airport dining, and best airport for two to five million passengers.

Changi has several amenities, like a swimming pool and movie theater, and is home to Singapore Airlines, Jetstar Asia Airways, Scoot, and SilkAir.

2. Tokyo International Airport

Tokyo International Airport, commonly known as Haneda Airport, is once again the second-best airport in the world.

The airport is the busier of the two airports serving Tokyo, having been restricted to just domestic and regional flying for many years.

However, international flights were launched in 2010, and the airport is a convenient option for inbound passengers visiting Tokyo.

The airport won a handful of other awards this year, including being the world's cleanest airport, the world's best domestic airport, having the best accessible facilities, and being the best airport in Asia.

Haneda is home to Air Do, Japan Airlines, All Nippon Airways, Skymark Airlines, and Skynet Asia Airways.

1. Hamad International Airport

Doha's Hamad International Airport is once again the best airport in the world, having dethroned Singapore Changi Airport for the top title in 2021.

Hamad is the primary gateway to Qatar after replacing the country's old airport in 2014.

The airport is home to several amenities and vendors, as well as a convenient passenger train that easily shuttles travelers through the terminals.

Flag carrier Qatar Airways is the main airline hubbed at Hamad.

There you go! Top airports of the world.
