Emirates adjudged ‘World’s Best Airline’ in Telegraph Travel’s study
In a recent comprehensive and methodological study by Telegraph Travel, Emirates emerged as the 'World's Best Airline' among 90 global carriers.
The detailed ranking and ratings were calculated using more than 30 criteria, such as punctuality, baggage allowance, route network, quality of home airport, age of fleet, value of rewards programme, and tastiness of in-flight meals. The results were calculated using more than 18 independent and international awards, reader polls, rating websites, and expert reviews.
Described as a 'worthy winner,' the study announced that Emirates 'ticks nearly every box, from baggage allowance to punctuality.'
The study's independent methodology included 90 airlines selected for the number of annual passengers carried. Points were awarded based on each carrier's performance across a range of criteria.
So far in 2024, Emirates has received an additional 19 awards and recognitions from a wide array of sources worldwide, including seven accolades at the Skytrax World Airline Awards, Pax International Magazine Awards, Business Traveller Middle East Awards, World Travel Awards, International Loyalty Awards, and AirlineRatings.com Airline Excellence Awards.
