Qatar Airways is named No.1 airline for 2024 at the 'Oscars of Aviation', BA moves up to 13th and Delta triumphs again in America. Qatar Airways has been voted the world's best airline at the 'Oscars of Aviation'. The carrier triumphed over 350 airlines at the Skytrax World Airline Awards 2024, beating last year's winner, Singapore Airlines, into second place. Emirates is ranked third, ANA All Nippon Airways fourth and Cathay Pacific comes fifth. I have flown on all of these airlines and happily recommend them to my clients. Tell me what matters most to you in an airline and I'll match you up with the perfect one for your needs. Here's the Skytrax top 20 list in full: 1 Qatar Airways 2 Singapore Airlines 3 Emirates 4 ANA All Nippon Airways 5 Cathay Pacific 6 Japan Airlines 7 Turkish Airlines 8 EVA Air 9 Air France 10 Swiss Int'l Air Lines 11 Korean Air 12 Hainan Airlines 13 British Airways 14 Fiji Airways 15 Iberia 16 Vistara 17 Virgin Atlantic 18 Lufthansa 19 Etihad Airways 20 Saudi Arabian Airlines Which is your favourite airline, and why?

Air France-KLM and Etihad Airways have signed a Memorandum of Understanding aimed at deepening their commercial and operational partnership. They plan to enhance their collaboration in passenger operations, loyalty programmes, talent development and maintenance. The two parties are expanding their codeshare agreement and Air France is to launch daily Paris CDG-Abu Dhabi flights this winter, a route also served by Etihad (but KLM is not resuming its Amsterdam-Abu Dhabi service). The MoU also includes proposals to allow the reciprocal earning and redemption of frequent flyer miles and also to look at terminal co-location, common lounge access and ground handling. Etihad still has the fewest direct destinations in Europe of the 'super connectors' (Etihad, Qatar Airways, Emirates Airline and Turkish Airlines). Historically, Etihad used codeshare and equity investment to grow its footprint, but its codeshare network has shrunk since 2019 and its equity strategy fell apart in 2018. The Air France-KLM agreement signals a more stable strategy by Etihad for re-expanding its footprint in Europe. CAPA - Centre for Aviation https://lnkd.in/exaZkTbN

Our 3 months away have come to and end - but more on that later. In chapter 1 of my book I wrote a fairly long story about the last time I travelled home from Europe. And it just reminded me again. This photo was taken right before we commenced our return trip with Qatar Airways. The recent Skytrax Airline Awards ecently voted them #2 airline in the world - with service being a compelling factor. For the next 22 hours after this photo, we were entirely in the hands of the airline and their service. So who is the next person or company that I (and all of the other passengers on that flight) will get to experience next? This year, it was my local coffee shop. After my last trip 5 years ago, it was the post office. Onboard service in an airline is quite unique, and it stands out especially in comparison to other businesses. No one would ever think that the person they’re about to serve has just come off a 22 hour flight by an award winning airline, but how useful would it be to frame every service moment that way. In competing with a 5 star airline, your service will less likely create a gap in the customers mind, and it’s something we should be striving for every day. What if some of your customers were actually frequent travellers. If you knew this about them, you’d be in a great position to serve them like the airlines do. #serviceculture #customerservice #leadership #airlineindustry #businessbook #allin 📷📍Zagreb Airport 🇭🇷

Big news for frequent flyers… airBaltic, Etihad, Flybondi.com, someone just joined your gang! This time, I’ll let real me explain: Ps, first time recording myself on Linkedin (an for who didn’t notice, first time editing too) so be aware of MANY mistakes, will fix’em as I do more of this format. Hope you don’t mind. #loyaltyprograms #lufthansa #airmiles #frequentflyer

The World’s Best Airline Companies 🛩️🛩️🛩️ With most of my feed in Europe, I thought it would interesting to explore who are the best #airlines? 🏆🏆🏆 This depends on how you quantify the best. Based on 2022 revenue alone, Delta Airlines is the clear winner, bringing in $54 billion in revenue in 2022. But if comfort is your thing, Skytrax rates Emirates on top. The Skytrax Awards are a customer–based survey which ranks airlines based on comfort, customer service, and value for money. Based on fleet size, American Airlines is the largest with 956 planes, followed by Delta with 879. And according to Forbes, Qantas is the safest airline. And if you’re after an airline with provocative marketing, then Ryanair is the clear winner. When it comes to value for money I’ve found Qatar first and business class second to none!
