Doha, QATAR – Qatar Airways has won two more international awards, confirming its leading position as one of the top 10 airlines in the world, and also as the best carrier in the Middle East region.

Travellers from 95 countries selected Qatar Airways as their airline of choice among Middle East carriers, and also honoured the airline’s cabin crew for its outstanding level of onboard service and excellence.

Results from the latest Skytrax World Airline Awards have positioned Qatar Airways as the best airline in the Middle East for the third consecutive year, heading off strong competition in a region experiencing massive growth in its aviation sector. Qatar Airways’ cabin crew was named Best in the Middle East for the sixth straight year, further cementing Qatar Airways’ reputation as a Five-Star carrier.

its my kind of way to travel.cause i enjoyed my 1st flight ever via Qatar airways, i just love it,had 1st class fun while in economy,don't ask me how....hats off to the crew...

but i feel why u wanna worry about the luxuries.... hardly any liner would provide you with a heavenly treat...do they..

even though at an high attitude like a 30,000ft no one will worry about 'em, thank the liner, mama i am back home safe...thank you QA... for bringing me to Qatar safe...i didn't felt the gravity with the care your crew offered & hope you will take me back home safe..i rely on you & your crew..

take the good things moving way high and win all others hearts too...

This 5 star airline(QR) ran out of blankets 30 minutes into the flight, on a recent trip, the poor guy in front couldnt get one, the air hostess said they dont bring enough blankets for everyone, as not all customers request blankets. Comforting to hear.

QA is extremely good as long as you fly first class. Their first class service is exceptional. And yeah, flights always arrive early.

maaverix - you neglected to mention that Qatar Airways dropped from 4th to 7th in the list of top global airlines. Any comment on that?

I always fly Qatar Airways and find the flight attendants extremely friendly and helpful. The flight usually arrives early and the planes are new. What more do you need. I think they deserve the awards.

do you actually fly QA? if they asked me, i would say QA provides a 3 star service at best... i'm highly suspicious of such surveys...

lol...your a bit late mate! The results were announced over a month ago! lol

Typical propaganda, what you fail to mention is that Qatar Airways DROPPED 3 places in the 'Airline of the Year Award' and lost the 'Best First Class Award'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They picked up 2 regional awards, nothing to exciting.

It is generally considered in the Industry that Qatar Airways are nothing more than a joke of an airline with a crazed dwarf as a CEO.
