Germany (Hamburg) - Qatar Airways won the award for the World’s Best Business Class at the Skytrax World Airline Awards 2010 held in Hamburg yesterday. The airline was also named among the top three airlines in the world. Qatar Airways’ global ranking among more than 200 international airlines rose to number three in the world – up from fourth spot last year, further cementing its stature as a world leading airline. Qatar Airways took the World’s Best Business Class award in one of the most hotly contested categories. The airline’s Business Class catering was recognized separately as the best in the world. The airline also took the title for Best Airline in the Middle East for a fifth consecutive year, emphasizing Qatar Airways’ competitiveness and dominance in a region boasting several world-class airlines, Qatari daily (The Peninsula) reported Sunday. Qatar Airways also became the first airline to receive the Staff Service Excellence Award for the Middle East. The new award replaces the Best Cabin Staff in the Middle East category, which Qatar Airways has won for the past seven years. The expanded category now includes airline staff at all passenger touch points, including onboard, reservations, check-in and airport personnel. Qatar Airways CEO Akbar Al Baker said the awards were fantastic recognition for the continued dedication of the airline’s staff to consistently deliver the best service levels in the industry. "It is extremely gratifying to be honored with these achievements, which recognize the outstanding efforts of our employees in the air and on the ground, as we look to offer the highest levels of service and consistency across all levels of our operation," Al Baker said.
"I have been saying for years that Qatar Airways’ Business Class rivals the First Class of many other airlines, and the World’s Best Business Class award is clear validation of that claim. To be considered among the top three airlines in the world is a huge achievement for Qatar Airways and takes us one step closer to our collective goal of being recognized at the best airline in the world. Clearly, we are heading in the right direction," he added. Edward Plaisted of Skytrax said Qatar Airways continued to impress with its high global standards. "This has been an excellent year for Qatar Airways. Operating in one of the most competitive global markets for high quality airlines, winning the Best Airline Middle East title for 2010 is a worthy achievement, and continues their success in this category. The World Airline Awards are known as ‘The Passenger’s Choice’, underlining the fact that Qatar Airways are clearly satisfying the hardest critics – their users."
