DOHA, Qatar: Qatar Airways has been voted ‘Best Middle Eastern Airline’ for the 10th consecutive year at the 26th Annual TTG Travel Awards. The latest win seals a decade of success for Qatar Airways at the TTG Travel Awards, organised by one of the most respected trade magazines in the Asia Pacific.
Readers based their voting on the strength of the airline’s customer service, route network, services and also its innovation marketing and advertising programs and initiatives.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Akbar Al Baker said: “To retain this accolade for 10 consecutive years is a tremendous achievement – it speaks volumes about the commitment and quality of the entire Qatar Airways team who work tirelessly to provide unforgettable inflight experiences for our passengers. We take pride in offering our passengers best-in-class hospitality whenever they fly with us and we are delighted that our efforts have paid off.”
Qatar Airways South East Asia South West Pacific Senior Vice President Marwan Koleilat accepted the award on behalf of the airline in Bangkok, Thailand.
“We would like to thank our travel partners in Asia Pacific for this recognition and for their vote of confidence and unwavering support over the past decade. Asia Pacific continues to be one of our key priority markets and we remain dedicated to delivering the excellent service and product our passengers have come to expect from Qatar Airways,” said Koleilat.
Asia-based passengers have much to look forward to; from more new and exciting destinations in Qatar Airways’ expanding global network, to more opportunities to try the Airline of the Year’s award-winning hospitality and services for themselves on routes such as Manila and Jakarta which has seen recent flight frequency increases.
Testament to Asia’s importance to Qatar Airways, the Doha-based carrier became the first airline to operate the world’s newest aircraft – the A350 – to Singapore and the Asia Pacific region on 11 May. Other destinations where Asia-based passengers can look forward to experiencing unprecedented levels of comfort on the state-of-the-art A350 aircraft include Frankfurt and Munich, and Philadelphia, New York City, and Boston from next year.
Qatar Airways has seen rapid growth in just 18 years of operation and today flies a modern fleet of 166 aircraft to 152 key business and leisure destinations across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific, North America and South America. At this year’s Skytrax Awards, the airline was named Airline of the Year, Best Business Class Airline Seat and Best Airline in the Middle East.
