The airline rating site Skytrax, which has hosted the World Airline Awards every year since 1999, announced the 2023 winners on June 20th at the Air and Space Museum in Paris. There were 325 airlines included in the survey. It was no surprise to me that two Japanese airlines were in the top ten, All Nippon Airways in second and Japan Airlines in fifth.
The rest of the top ten are:
Singapore Airlines
Qatar Airways
All Nippon Airways (ANA)
Emirates
Japan Airlines
Turkish Airlines
Air France
Cathay Pacific Airways
EVA Air
Korean Air
All Nippon Airways was also in first place for the Cleanest Airline, third for Best Cabin Crew, fourth for Best Business Class and ninth for Best Economy Airline.
Japan Airline came in first for Best Economy Airline, tenth for Best Cabin Crew, fifteenth for Best Business Class, and eighth for the Cleanest Airline.

I can't remember which airline we flew to Japan with, I'd have to look it up, but it might have been one of these two! I've also traveled with Emirates back in 2017, that was a really nice flight.
I am not surprised to find Scandinavian Airlines so far down on the list - they suffered badly during the pandemic and seem to have made a lot of unwise choices. Now there is a quesion mark hanging over their future...
I'm not surprised. I'm also not surprised no US airlines are listed here!
ReplyDeleteI'm worried about airlines higher than All Nippon Airwaves and Japan Airlines. I like Air France, so I'm happy to be in the top10.
