One airline has literally gone to great lengths to prove it’s the best in the past 12 months, and it appears to have paid off.
Singapore Airlines, which in October triumphantly relaunched the world’s longest nonstop scheduled passenger service, flying from Singapore to New York, has now capped a successful year with a new accolade.
The carrier has pipped Air New Zealand to be named Airline of the Year by Australia-based aviation safety and product rating agency AirlineRatings, in the company’s annual Airline Excellence Awards.
It’s a big upset for Air New Zealand, which has spent five consecutive years in the top spot.
The awards celebrate the carriers soaring highest — from the swankiest first-class suites to the comfiest economy seats, via the roomiest lounges and tastiest culinary offerings.
“For years Singapore Airlines has been the gold standard and now it is back to its best leading in passenger innovations and new state-of-the-art aircraft models,” says AirlineRatings Editor-in-Chief Geoffrey Thomas.
AirlineRatings’ award editors highlighted Singapore Airlines’ new non-stop Singapore to New York service.
“The editors said that the competition for top spot was tight with Air New Zealand, Qantas Airways and Qatar Airways just being nudged out,” he adds.
