More than 18 million air travellers from more than 100 different nationalities took part in the 10-month long survey. The awards are recognised around the world for being the only global independent passenger survey monitoring airline standards and as the ultimate benchmark for excellence in the airline industry.

The top 10 includes one European carrier, Turkish Airlines, with the rest from the Asia-Pacific including the Middle Eastern winners.

Here’s how Skytrax describes its methodology:
“During the 10-month survey period, 18.8 million airline customers from over 100 different nationalities participated in this customer satisfaction survey. The Survey includes over 200 airlines, from the largest international airlines to small domestic carriers, and measured standards across more than 38 different items of airline front-line product and service. The study analyses customer satisfaction for the Airline Passenger Experience, across the Airport and Onboard environments – check-in to boarding, onboard seat comfort, cabin cleanliness, food, beverages, IFE and staff service.”
