Skytrax, a London-based rating agency established in 1989, has been evaluating the quality and service standards of airlines and airports since 1999. The 2024 edition of their prestigious annual World Airline Awards has just been released. This year, Qatar Airways has claimed the top spot, displacing Singapore Airlines from first place.

This top list was compiled by the baggage service provider "Bounce". Points were awarded and weighted by a jury of experts. The criteria are primarily based on characteristics that are of great importance to passengers in their everyday flying lives, such as:

  • Punctuality

  • Flight cancellations

  • Meals

  • In-flight entertainment

  • Seating comfort

  • Friendliness of the staff

  • Baggage allowance

The result was the following list of the best airlines in 2023, which includes a few surprises outside the usual suspects from Asia.
