Coming in at number five on the list after Dubai, London Heathrow, Hamad International Airport and Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, Sydney International Airport scored a “luxury score” of 61 out of 100.
The presence of luxury stores including Cartier, Rolex and Armani helped secure Sydney Airport one of the top spots, and our runway positioning over the water also got credit from the judges.
Sydney International Airport’s history was also acknowledged; it’s the world’s oldest continually operating commercial international airport, which has to speak for something. And even though we’re scoring a new international airport (set to open in 2026), this coastal hub will always be a special place to fly into and out of.
