Qatar Airways has been voted the World's Best Airline in Skytrax's Passenger Choice rankings. The awards, which are only voted on by passengers, differ from Airlineratings.com Airline Excellence Awards, in that they only consider one factor - passenger preference.

Airlineratings.com awards announced in July also found Qatar Airways to be the World's Best Airline but took into consideration a range of factors including;

  1. Safety
  2. Product
  3. Profitability
  4. Fleet age
  5. Environmental performance
  6. Passenger comments from two different sources

The Skytrax ratings are nonetheless important and we list them under;
