25 Best Airlines in the World 2024

SkyTrax recently announced the World Airline Awards, which lists the best airlines in the world.

Over 300 airline Presidents and CEOs, as well as other management and uniformed staff from 25 airlines, attended.

It was like the Oscars of the aviation industry.

The World Airlines Awards have been presented since 1999 and are deemed independent and impartial. The results are solely based on passenger reviews, so airlines don’t have a way to influence the outcome.

During 2023-24, customers from over 100 countries participated in the survey. SkyTrax says, “There are no survey entry fees, no charge for airlines to attend the awards event, and no charges for any use of the award logos and results by winning airlines."
