Copenhagen Airport was ranked the sixth best airport in Europe behind Frankfurt, London Heathrow, Zurich, Amsterdam and the continent's number one, Munich. Singapore-Chiangi Airport was voted the world’s best.

The Danish capital’s airport was also voted the world’s best in terms of security service for the second straight year and the third most friendly.
