FE Report
Qatar Airways has won two more international awards, confirming its leading position as one of the top 10 airlines in the world, and also as the best carrier in the Middle East region.
Results from the latest Skytrax World Airline Awards have positioned Qatar Airways as the best airline in the Middle East for the third consecutive year, heading off strong competition in a region experiencing massive growth in its aviation sector.
This year's results continue to recognise the airline's ambitious efforts to provide passengers with the best onboard service in the global aviation industry, according to Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker.
Qatar Airways has been holding the coveted Five Star Skytrax Award for customer product and service excellence since 2004 when the airline became only the third carrier to be awarded the status.
"We place an emphasis on providing the best quality product and service for our passengers, and our customers' recognition to Qatar Airways' efforts through these awards is very satisfying", according to the CEO.
Skytrax is recognised around the world for being the only truly global, independent aviation industry monitor. Results of the 2008 World Airline Awards are derived from surveys of 15 million passengers from 95 different nationalities completed over an 11-month period.
