In a remarkable achievement, Qatar Airways has once again been named the World’s Best Airline for 2025, claiming the prestigious title for an unprecedented ninth time at the Skytrax World Airline Awards.
This global honor reinforces the airline’s dominance in the aviation sector, as it also scooped up awards for World’s Best Business Class, Best Airline in the Middle East, and Best Business Class Lounge—the latter awarded to the luxurious Al Mourjan Lounge – The Garden, located at Hamad International Airport.
Skytrax CEO Edward Plaisted praised the airline for consistently raising the bar, describing the victory as “a fabulous triumph” in an industry known for fierce competition. Qatar Airways also retained its elite Five-Star Airline rating, further solidifying its position at the top.
Qatar Airways Group CEO, Engr. Badr Mohammed Al-Meer, expressed pride in the recognition, saying, “This award reflects the dedication, precision, and passion our team brings to every journey. Securing the title of World’s Best Airline for the ninth time is a powerful testament to our commitment to excellence.”
The airline’s continued success comes during a year of strategic growth, innovation, and customer-focused enhancements. With this milestone, Qatar Airways continues to shape the future of global air travel, setting new standards in luxury, service, and operational excellence.
