Also named ‘Best Airline in the World for International Travel’ for fifth consecutive year.
LOS ANGELES, USA – Qatar Airways was named “Best Business Class” at the 25th Annual Best in Business Travel Awards, recently held in Los Angeles at the Loews Hollywood Hotel. The airline was additionally honored as the “Best Business Class in the Middle East” and named “Best Airline in the World for International Travel” for the 5th consecutive year.
The Best in Business Travel Awards are based on votes by readers of Business Traveler USA magazine with the results authenticated by an independent auditing company and are widely recognized as the market’s benchmark for excellence. Readers based their voting on the strength of the airline’s customer service, its route network and services.
Lisa Markovic, Qatar Airways’ Country Manager for the United States of America, said “There is no greater achievement than the appreciation of our passengers and we would like to thank the Business Traveller readers for choosing Qatar Airways, especially against such strong competition.”
“These awards illustrate Qatar Airways’ ongoing commitment to providing 5-star service as one of the world’s leading airlines for both business and leisure travellers. We are particularly proud to be acknowledged for consistently providing the world’s best international travel experience for five years, running. We now look forward to improving our travel options, by expanding on our network of over 130 destinations, through the oneworld alliance.”
