WHO ARE THE WORLD’S BEST AIRLINES FOR 2022?
Regarded as ‘the Oscars of the aviation industry’, Skytrax’s 2022 World Airline Awards saw the industry gather at the Langham Hotel in London, United Kingdom, on Friday, 23 September to celebrate the first in-person event in two years.
The winners of the World Airline Awards, now in its 24th year, are selected based on an annual customer satisfaction survey run by Skytrax. Keeping the process totally independent and impartial. This year’s event had over 80 major awards handed out across various categories.
Qatar Airways was named Airline of the Year for the seventh time and walked away with another three major awards: World’s Best Business Class; World’s Best Business Class Lounge Dining; and Best Airline in the Middle East.
Qatar Airways group chief executive, Akbar Al Baker, said: “To be named as the World’s Best Airline was always a goal when Qatar Airways was created, but to win it for the seventh time and pick up three additional awards is a testament to all the hard work of our incredible employees. Their continued dedication and drive is to ensure our passengers have the best experience possible when they fly with Qatar Airways.
To win these awards in the same year that we celebrate our 25th anniversary is even more rewarding, and I want to offer a sincere thanks to all our passengers who voted for us. Your support drives us to greater achievements every day, we value your loyalty and aim to create memories of a lifetime when you fly with Qatar Airways.”
South Africa’s own FlySafair was named the Best Low-Cost Airline in Africa for the second year running.
“We’re always a little prouder of awards that we know are based on customer feedback,” Gordon continued. “It’s great to be recognized by the industry but we’re always at pains to keep our focus on customer service regardless of whether the business is doing well, or poorly.”
