Qatar Airways Wins Best Catering For 2024

Qatar Airways has taken out Airlineratings.com's Best Catering Award for 2024 in its annual Airline Excellence Awards.

Airlineratings.com Editor-in-Chief Geoffrey Thomas said that "no matter what class you fly Qatar Airways' food offering is superb".

The presentation and delivery of meals is outstanding and the airline has no less than 18 special meal options.

For First and Business Class passengers, you can also pre-select your meal and when on board have the meal when you wish.

The catering in Qatar premium classes is easily restaurant standard, and this also sets a higher bar for the service and food in economy,’’ Mr. Thomas said. “Judges were impressed with the taste, freshness, and presentation of the food.’’

In Economy Class passengers are offered three choices for the main course.

Mr Thomas added that the website continually gets positive feedback about catering on Qatar Airways.

"We received so many positive comments about the catering on Qatar Airways, particularly from Economy Class passengers, where typically airlines have cut back offering substandard boxed meals," Mr Thomas said.

In a radical move from past Airline Excellence Awards announcements, we will tease our millions of readers and airlines by announcing different winning categories each week over eight weeks culminating with Airline Of The Year 2024 and our Top Twenty 2024 airlines on April 30.

Last week we announced Virgin Australia Regional Airlines as our 2024 Regional Airline of The Year and next week on March 26 we will announce the Best Cabin Crew.
