LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Qatar Airways has received top accolades at the prestigious Business Traveler magazine awards ceremony in Los Angeles.
Readers voted the Five-Star airline Best Airline for International Travel for the third consecutive year at Business Traveler Magazine’s 23rd annual Best in Business Awards.
Qatar Airways was also awarded Best Business Class airline to the Middle East.
The awards recognized 35 different travel service providers in 54 categories.
Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker said the airline’s winning streak can be attributed to its high standards of quality and customer service.
“Everything we do and provide, from personalized treatment and customer service, to in-flight duty free and onboard cuisine, is Five-Star and based on superior attention to detail and customer satisfaction,” said Al Baker.
“I am very proud that our Business Class product has again been recognized, as well as our long-haul international services by US-based travelers, and our willingness to target diverse and underserved markets where others dare not venture into.
“During 2011, Qatar Airways was honored with several other awards from around the world, including the ultimate last June when we were named Airline of the Year 2011 by the prestigious Skytrax organization at their annual awards.
“These accolades demonstrate the years of hard work that have gone into making us what we are today – the best in the skies.”
