Qatar Airways is soaring to new heights after scooping the ‘Best Business Class’ award at the 25th Annual Best in Business Travel Awards.
The ceremony, which was held at the Loews Hollywood Hotel in LA, US, also saw the airline bag the prestigious ‘Best Airline in the World for International Travel’ award for the fifth consecutive year.
The awards are based on votes by readers of Business Traveller USA magazine and the results are independently audited. Readers based their voting on the strength of the airline’s customer service, its route network and services.
Lisa Markovic, Qatar Airways country manager for the US, said: “There is no greater achievement than the appreciation of our passengers and we would like to thank the Business Traveller readers for choosing Qatar Airways, especially against such strong competition.
“These awards illustrate Qatar Airways’ ongoing commitment to providing 5-star service as one of the world’s leading airlines for both business and leisure travellers. We are particularly proud to be acknowledged for consistently providing the world’s best international travel experience for five years, running. We now look forward to improving our travel options, by expanding on our network of over 130 destinations, through the oneworld alliance.”
Qatar Airways has seen rapid growth during its 17 years of operations, currently flying a modern fleet of 129 aircraft to 134 key business and leisure destinations across Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific and The Americas.
Over the next few months, the network will grow further with Sharjah and Dubai World Central, both in the UAE (March 1, 2014), Larnaca, Cyprus (April 29), Philadelphia, USA (April 2, 2014), Sabiha Gökçen Airport, Turkey (May 22, 2014), Edinburgh, Scotland (May 28, 2014), Miami, USA (June 10, 2014) and Dallas/Fort Worth, USA (July 1, 2014).
