The year 2026 continues to mark remarkable achievements stemming from the investment strategy and service quality enhancement efforts of Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV). Not only did Noi Bai International Airport and Da Nang International Airport successfully maintain their positions in the Top 100 Best Airports Worldwide, but ACV also proudly celebrates Cam Ranh International Airport reaching 6th place in the category of “World’s Cleanest Airports.”
According to the official results announced by SKYTRAX (World Airport Awards 2026), the airport network under ACV has achieved a series of impressive rankings.
Most notably, Noi Bai International Airport made a significant leap from 79th place in 2025 to 71st in the Top 100 Best Airports in the World. It was also honored in the category of “World’s Best Airports (30 to 40 million passengers).” Meanwhile, Da Nang International Airport advanced 9 positions (from 84th to 75th), reaffirming its strong presence on this prestigious global list.
Noi Bai International Airport has impressively risen 8 places, marking its 8th consecutive appearance in the Top 100 World’s Best Airports as ranked by SKYTRAX.
Da Nang International Airport has achieved a notable ranking improvement, continuing to affirm its service quality on the global aviation map.
In particular, ACV’s standardized service quality strategy continues to gain international recognition as Cam Ranh International Airport secured 6th place in the category “World’s Cleanest Airports 2026 (up to 30 million passengers).”
Cam Ranh International Airport stands as a clear testament to the “Green – Clean – Beautiful Airport” development orientation of Airports Corporation of Vietnam.
Elevating Infrastructure, Shaping “Green Airports”
The strong upward movement of ACV’s airports in 2026 reflects the effectiveness of its synchronized infrastructure investment strategy. In recent years, ACV has comprehensively upgraded and expanded passenger processing areas at Noi Bai and Da Nang, meeting the stringent demands of high-traffic airports. From security screening systems to baggage handling, all equipment has been modernized to optimize space and significantly reduce waiting times.
For Cam Ranh, its outstanding ranking is driven by ACV’s rigorous “Green Airport” strategy implemented across its network. The corporation has optimized environmental sanitation processes, adopted advanced cleaning technologies, and maintained ecological landscapes—creating a fresh, relaxing, and passenger-friendly environment from the very first touchpoint.
Driving Digital Transformation with a Passenger-Centric Philosophy
Beyond physical infrastructure upgrades, ACV identifies digital transformation as a key breakthrough pillar. The successful implementation of Airport Collaborative Decision Making (A-CDM) has enhanced operational efficiency, supported airlines in reducing fuel consumption, improved on-time performance, and minimized environmental impact.
At the same time, ACV has accelerated the application of technology in operations management and expanded its automated service ecosystem (self-service kiosks, automated gates), empowering passengers with greater convenience and autonomy. All coordination efforts among government authorities, police, customs, and ground service partners are aligned to standardize every “touchpoint,” bringing to life the philosophy of “putting passengers at the center.”
A synchronized infrastructure and equipment system contribute to realizing the “passenger-centric” philosophy across the entire airport network.
A Strong Foundation for Future Growth
The outstanding achievements at the World Airport Awards 2026 serve as strong recognition of ACV’s continuous efforts. More importantly, they provide a solid foundation and motivation for the corporation to further accelerate infrastructure investment, elevate service standards, and strengthen its position on the global aviation map.
