Qatar Airways named world's Best Airline anew   

Saudi Gazette - 16 July, 2012

QATAR Airways has once again triumphed at the annual Skytrax World Airline Awards, winning three top accolades including the main award World’s Best Airline for the second year running.

The Doha-based carrier retained the coveted title of Airline of the Year 2012 and notched up two further awards – Best Airline in the Middle East for the seventh consecutive year and the Best Airline Staff Service award in the Middle East.

The winners were announced at an awards ceremony attended by leading figures from the global aviation industry at the Farnborough Airshow, the world’s largest aerospace event taking place in the UK this week. The Skytrax awards, conducted by the global aviation research organization, polled over 18 million business and leisure air travelers from more than 100 countries.

Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker hailed the achievements as "fantastic recognition" of all employees at Qatar Airways for the dedication and commitment to their job.

"I am extremely proud of the adulation given once again by the very people who fly - the traveling public, for their support and faith in Qatar Airways," said Al Baker, speaking after being presented with the awards.
"Qatar Airways set out on a mission 15 years ago when we launched to be the world’s best airline and spread the airline’s quality brand to all corners of the world. Last year we achieved that. Retaining awards is always difficult, but we have managed to do so amid the tough competition which only shows we remain focused in our day to day job of offering passengers what they fully deserve - the highest standards of service both in the air and on the ground."

"The achievements further reflect the high standards that we set for ourselves and receiving the awards is fantastic recognition of the hard work and commitment of our staff across the world who help make Qatar Airways the success it is today." Skytrax Chief Executive Officer Edward Plaisted said: "To win the Airline of the Year award for a second successive year is a remarkable achievement for Qatar Airways, and a clear recognition of the continued efforts by Qatar Airways’ management and staff to be the world’s best airline."
