The world's best airlines 2017

Qatar Airways has been voted the best airline at the annual World Airline Awards. This is despite of its overflying difficulties brought about by sanctions imposed on Qatar by several of its Middle Eastern neighbours. 

Singapore is 2nd, All Nippon 3rd, Emirates 4th and Cathay 5th.


Lufthansa is the only European airline among the top ten. 

 Not surprisingly, Air Canada does not feature among the top 20, although it was voted the best 

North American Airline, and no American airline made it either to the top 20. 

From 'down under', Qantas came in at 15th and Air New Zealand at 19th. 

Africa's best airline is Ethiopian, ranked 46th in the world.
