Every year, the aviation ranking website Skytrax compiles and analyzes thousands of customer satisfaction surveys to determine the best of the best among some 350 airlines.
Qatar Airways stole Singapore Airlines’ crown as the 2024 world’s best airline this year. It was also named the best airline for business class for the ninth time since 2014.
The win is no surprise given Qatar’s reputation for luxury at the front of the plane.
Qatar revolutionized premium flying when it introduced its famous QSuite, its first suite-style business class with fully closing doors. Several cabin layouts are possible, too, including first-of-its-kind double beds and quad-seating.
QSuite was an industry-changing design that raised the bar for premium seating worldwide.
Other airlines, like Air India and British Airways, have since adopted their own hotel-like cabins and multi-person seats.
Still, it appears travelers prefer the original — and Qatar is evolving it even further with the unveiling of its “QSuite 2.0” later this year.
