These are the 10 best airlines in the world this year
Skytrax has a new entrant into the top decile, and none of them are in the same spot as they were last year
The airport and airline ratings service Skytrax has released its latest ranking of the world’s best airlines. Based on customer surveys conducted in six languages, the roundup judges carriers in a broad array of categories that includes “cabin presence through flight,” “boarding efficiency,” and “cabin comfort & amenities.” The list has almost all the same names as last year’s, with the exception of Korean Air, which fell out of the top 10 and was replaced by a new entrant. However, none of the airlines are in the same places they were last year.
