2014 World Airline Awards winners revealed
By admin


The Skytrax World Airline Awards have taken place in front of a packed audience at the Farnborough International Airshow.

Staged in the historic Wind Tunnel venue at the Airshow, the event attracted a record attendance of airlines from around the world. 

Regarded by many as a "benchmark" of passenger satisfaction levels, the awards are based on analysis of business and leisure travellers, across all cabin travel types.

The 2014 survey operated between August 2013 and May 2014, during which time 18.85 million customer surveys were completed. It covers full-service and low-cost airlines. More than 105 nationalities participated in the survey, covering over 245 airlines, from large international airlines to smaller domestic carriers.

The surveys measure standards across 41 key performance indicators of airline front-line product and service.
