Qatar Airways Hailed Best Business Class In The World

Qatar Airways took home three honors at the annual Skytrax 2013 World Airline Awards held during the Paris Air Show at Le Bourget recently.

Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker is presented with the Skytrax 2013 Best Business Class In The World award by CNN International anchor Richard Quest, flanked by cabin crew, at the recent Paris Air Show.

The airline was awarded World’s Best Business Class, World’s Best Business Class Lounge and, for the second consecutive year, Best Airline Staff Service in the Middle East.

“These awards are highly rewarding as they are judiciously voted by passengers – a true account of the overall experience felt by customers who have traveled with the airline,” said Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker.

In 2010, Qatar Airways took home the Best Business Class In The World title for the first time, followed by the coveted Airline of the Year award in 2011 and 2012.

The World Airline Awards are a global benchmark of airline excellence. Skytrax is the only global independent passenger survey monitoring airline standards and is considered the ultimate testament for excellence in the airline industry. Travelers from over 160 countries take part each year in the world’s largest airline passenger satisfaction survey to decide the award winners.
