Qatar Airways has once again triumphed at the annual Skytrax World Airline Awards, winning three top accolades including the main award World’s Best Airline for the second year in a row.
The winners were announced at an awards ceremony attended by leading figures from the global aviation industry at the Farnborough Air Show, the world’s largest aerospace event taking place in the UK this week.
The Skytrax awards, conducted by the global aviation research organisation, polled over 18 million business and leisure air travellers from more than 100 countries.
Qatar Airways CEO Akbar Al Baker hailed the achievements as “fantastic recognition” of all employees at Qatar Airways for the dedication and commitment to their job.
“I am extremely proud of the adulation given once again by the very people who fly - the travelling public, for their support and faith in Qatar Airways,” said Al Baker, speaking after being presented with the awards.
“Qatar Airways set out on a mission 15 years ago when we launched to be the world’s best airline and spread the airline’s quality brand to all corners of the world.
Skytrax CEO Edward Plaisted said: “To win the Airline of the Year award for a second successive year is a remarkable achievement for Qatar Airways, and a clear recognition of the continued efforts by Qatar Airways’ management and staff to be the world’s best airline.
“Qatar Airways should be very proud of this fantastic customer recognition of their service standards, and ranking No. 1 in the world at the 2012 Airline of the Year shows that they truly are a favourite airline among today’s global travellers.”
Air travellers were surveyed during a 10-month period by telephone, questionnaires and online about their experiences with airlines on the ground and in the air.
The survey measured passenger satisfaction across more than 38 key performance indicators of airline front-line product and service, including check-in, boarding, on-board seat comfort, cabin cleanliness, food, beverages, in-flight entertainment and staff service.
The survey covered more than 200 airlines, from the largest international airlines to smaller domestic carriers.
