Ben-Gurion International Airport is the world’s sixth best global air hub, according to a recent Travel+Leisure readers’ poll.

Ben-Gurion (TLV) is primarily known for being one of the world’s most secure airports. It has won awards for best airport in the Middle East over the years.

Every year, the Travel+Leisure travel magazine asks readers to weigh in on its World’s Best Awards survey of travel experiences. For the past three years, readers have been asked to choose their favorite airports.

Asian air hubs have taken the winning spots on the Best International Airport list since the poll began.

“Asian hubs, in general, have dominated the list,” reads a Travel+Leisure report. “These airports have a history of incorporating smart tech to make the lives of travelers easier, as well as staggering architecture that helps the airport seem like a destination in its own right.”

Singapore Changi Airport scored 90.93 and first place on the survey.

Ben-Gurion International Airport scored 78 points and a sixth place ranking.
