Qatar Airways has received three accolades at Skytrax World Airline Awards 2016, including the World’s Best Business Class, Best Business Class Airline Lounge, and Best Airline Staff Service in the Middle East. Voted by millions of travellers from 160 countries, these awards recognised the airline for its commitment to offering passengers an unrivalled travelling experience.
“It is a very proud moment for Qatar Airways to be named World’s Best Business Class, Best Business Class Airline Lounge and Best Airline Staff Service in the Middle East by the prestigious Skytrax World Airline Awards, not only for myself, but for every individual at Qatar Airways who creates the passengers’ experience, from our on-board cabin crew to the chefs overseeing our catering, to the technicians who ensure the cabin is in perfect working order,” says Qatar Airways Group chief executive Akbar Al Baker.
Over the last year Qatar Airways has expanded its network by launching 13 new destinations, including Adelaide, Atlanta, Birmingham, Boston, Chiang Mai, Seychelles and Sydney. The airline continues to grow in 2017, and will commence services to further new destinations, including Auckland, which will be the world’s longest flight, Lusaka, Skopje, and Nice.
“Qatar Airways remains a favourite amongst air travellers year-on-year and achieved strong results across many of the 2016 awards categories, ranking No. 2 in the world,” says Edward Plaisted, CEO of Skytrax. “The top prize for World’s Best Business Class is notable as this is amongst the most competitive in the customer survey. Airlines globally continue to develop and introduce new product and service concepts in Business Class and it takes a great deal of hard work to stay ahead in this market. The recognition of the Al Mourjan lounge as the world’s best is another great achievement for Qatar Airways.” www.qatarairways.com
