Tokyo Haneda Airport is ranked first as the World’s Cleanest Airport with Changi Airport Singapore in second place and Tokyo Narita Airport third.

The cleanliness award is evaluated based on customer assessment and perception of an airport’s cleanliness standards, including seating, washrooms, food and beverage outlets, and terminal areas.

Mr. Isao Takashiro, chairman and chief executive officer of Japan Airport Terminal Co Ltd stated that: as a hub airport with a dynamic domestic and international route network, Haneda Airport plays an important role in Japan.

He further mentioned, although steps are in place around the world to restrict movement because of the covid-19 pandemic, Team HANEDA look forward to a rapid end to the prevailing situation, and remain committed to the safety of its customers by providing facilities and services that are second to none in convenience, comfort and functionality.

At the same time SKYTRAX, the international rating organization for air transport facilities and services, has also announced at the 2021 World Airport Awards that Haneda Airport (Tokyo International Airport) was voted the second-Best Airport in the World. In addition, Haneda has also been named the Best Airport in Asia, the World’s Best Domestic Airport, and the Best Airport for Passengers with Restricted Mobility and Accessible Facilities.

In the meantime, the Japanese government has announced that the state of emergency in the country will be lifted from October 1. The government will start its pandemic exit strategy to ease restrictions on travel, dining, and public events for vaccinated people.

It would begin on an experimental basis from October and become fully operational in November. Currently, events are limited to half the venue capacity and up to 10,000 attendees, whichever figure is lower.

Vaccination is rapidly proceeding in Tokyo, where 68.4 percent of the population received at least one dose, and 58.5 percent are fully vaccinated.
