Singapore Airlines wins world best airline title from Qatar Airways
Skytrax announced in London on Friday that Singapore Airlines has taken the top spot for world's best airline from Qatar Airways.
Asian carriers dominate rankings
The annual Skytrax list was dominated by airlines based in Asia. Only one European carrier, Air France-KLM, managed to place within the top ten. No United States airline appeared on the final ranking despite recent upgrades to their cabins.
Survey covers millions of passengers
The award results are based on a survey involving almost 25 million travellers. This recognition provides airlines with bragging rights as premium travel gains popularity globally. Middle Eastern carriers faced pressure during this year due to the ongoing war in Iran.
Air France wins first class prize
Besides the overall ranking, Air France received the top prize for its La Premiere first class product. The French airline is currently expanding this cabin amid booming demand from customers.
