Qatar Airways proudly accepted the ‘Airline of the Year’ award recently at the 2017 Air Transport Awards, as the airline was recognised for its innovation, service, hospitality and leading product design. The awards ceremony, held at the Latrou Residence in Ekali, Greece, recognised Qatar Airways as the world’s leading airline, bestowing it with the highest honour of the evening, at an event attended by the world’s leading airline executives.

Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Akbar Al Baker, said they were deeply honoured to have been recognised by the readers of Air Transport News as the 2017 Airline of the Year. 

To receive acknowledgement from the loyal passengers who choose to fly with Qatar Airways is the highest honour for us to achieve and pushes us to work even harder to provide them with the level of commitment, service and attention to detail that they deserve every time they travel.’

The Airline of the Year award was bestowed upon Qatar Airways for its continued commitment to ensure that passenger experience is the absolute best in the industry in terms of both product and service, a commitment witnessed earlier this month when the airline launched its new Business Class Qsuite at the ITB exhibition in Berlin. QSuite features the industry’s first-ever double bed available in Business Class, with privacy panels that stow away, allowing passengers in adjoining seats to create their own private room. 

Qatar Airways, the national carrier of the State of Qatar, is celebrating 20 years of Going Places Together with travellers across its more than 150 business and leisure destinations. The world’s fast growing airline will add a number of exciting new destinations to its growing network in 2017, including Chiang Mai, Dublin, Nice, Skopje and many more, flying passengers on board its modern fleet of 195 aircraft.
