Skytrax Awards: World’s Best Airlines

#1 – Qatar Airways

Once again, Qatar Airways received the most prestigious aviation award of “World’s Best Airline”. This is the fourth time that Qatar Airways has won this award (previously: 2011, 2012 and 2015). Qatar Airways is known for its exquisite onboard services in all cabin classes. So it’s no surprise that it was the most popular with travelers.

This airline needs no introduction, awarded as the World’s Best Airline many times in a row. All Emirates flights offer impeccable comfort regardless of the cabin class. Their place at the TOP is completely deserved.

#5 Cathay Pacific

To close the TOP 5 best airlines in the world is Cathay Pacific, another high-class airline. Cathy Pacific operates flights to ~170 destinations in 42 countries across Asia, Europe, Oceania, Africa and North America.

Lufthansa is the only European airline among the Best Airlines in the World. It is steadily rising ranks on the list, gaining 2 positions up from last year. They still have a way to go to the top though!
