UK airports flying high

British airports and airlines are the best in the world, according to a new survey.

British Airways scooped three honours - overall best airline, best long- haul airline and best short-haul airline - in the 1996 Business Traveller Awards voted for by readers of Business Traveller. Singapore's Changi airport was voted the best in the world, and Amsterdam's Schipol second- best, but London's Gatwick, Heathrow, and Stansted scooped the next three places in the international league table.
