Qatar Airways awarded as world’s best airlines 2022

After a busy summer of travellers returning to flying following the pandemic, the 2022 Skytrax awards are celebrating the world’s best airlines.

Voting for the ceremony, which is led by the international air transport rating organisation, ran from September last year until August. The event is widely considered the Oscars equivalent of the airline industry, with passengers around the world completing satisfaction surveys to determine the winners.

Emirates was recognised in the top 10 best airlines in the world, but it was Qatar Airways that took first place.

The Gulf airline retained its title as Airline of the Year after pushing Singapore Airlines from the top spot last year.

Emirates placed third out of more than 350 airlines included in the survey results.

Etihad Airways, the national airline of the UAE, ranked 12th after climbing nine place to make it into the best 20 airlines in the world.
