This Canadian airport just ranked among the best in the world and it's not Toronto Pearson

One Canadian airport stood out among the rest in a recent ranking, coming in at third place for the best airports in the world. As the only airport in Canada to make the ranking, it was praised for its efficient layout and stunning design.

Right behind the Singapore Changi Airport and Qatar’s Hamad International Airport was Vancouver International Airport, tied with Tampa International Airport for third place.

The Airline Ratings Readers’ Choice Awards was released by Airline Ratings, and put both Tampa and Vancouver Airport in third place, as they had "only two votes separating them" in the survey.

Although it's small compared to the top two airports on the list, Vancouver holds its own with travellers and is beloved by many.

"Vancouver International impresses with its stunning design, nods to Canada’s Indigenous heritage, and Pacific Northwest charm. The clean, efficient layout and breathtaking views of surrounding mountains leave a lasting impression," the ranking said.

Readers also shouted out the airport for its easy-to-navigate layout, friendly staff, and of course, classic mountain views that come with the West Coast.

This isn't the first time Vancouver Airport has been under the spotlight. Time and time again the celebrity Kelly Ripa has given some love to the Canadian airport, saying that it has a "majesty" to it.

While Toronto might have the biggest in Canada, by some standards it looks like Vancouver has the best.
