According to the prestigious 2023 Skytrax World Airport Awards, Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) was crowned the Best Airport in Europe for the second consecutive year. CDG also achieved a significant milestone by entering the global Top 5, ranking 5th in the world. This recognition was based on millions of passenger satisfaction surveys covering over 500 airports worldwide. The award highlighted CDG's excellence in areas such as passenger entertainment, shopping experience (where it ranked 5th globally), and its low-cost terminal (Terminal 3), which was voted the 2nd best in the world for its category. In 2026, historical data shows that other strong contenders in 2023 included Munich Airport and Istanbul Airport, but Paris CDG's comprehensive modernization efforts and focus on hospitality secured its top spot as the premier gateway in Europe for that specific year, a reputation it has continued to build upon since.
