Qatar Airways has been named ‘Airline of the Year’ by the international air transport rating organisation, Skytrax. The airline received five other Skytrax awards, including World’s Best Business Class, World’s Best Business Class Airline Lounge, World’s Best Business Class Airline Seat, World’s Best Business Class Onboard Catering and Best Airline in the Middle East. The airline continues to stand alone at the top of the industry having now won the main prize for an unprecedented sixth time. In January 2021, Qatar Airways became the first global airline to receive the Skytrax COVID-19 Safety Rating; its home and hub, Hamad International Airport, was voted the World’s Best Airport 2021 in August.
