Spanish airline Iberia has won three prestigious awards, recognised internationally, for its onboard services. The awards cover all aspects of the airline, from the interior of its aircraft to the food and drink services provided.
The PAX International Award Won by Iberia
This first award is no stranger to Iberia given that it is the airline’s second year of achieving it; more specifically, it is PAX International’s ‘Best Inflight Service in Europe 2025’ award.
PAX International Magazine’s readers, which include 15,500 experts in aviation, had the opportunity to vote for who they thought was worthy of winning this award. Iberia’s use of high quality raw materials for its dishes, as well as an array of exciting in-flight entertainment, made it the firm favourite to win.
Editor of PAX International Magazine, Aijaz Khan, explained this award further:
“The PAX International Awards are an excellent platform to recognize the dedication and innovation that propel the industry forward. From catering and technology to in-flight services, these awards highlight advancements that enhance the passenger experience.”
The Onboard Hospitality Awards Won by Iberia
The second and third awards, courtesy of Onboard Hospitality Magazine, highlight the dedication and excellence of Iberia’s interior design and food and drink choices. These are the “Gold for the best cabin interior concept”and “Award for the best short-haul tourist menu” awards.
The A321XLR aircraft’s cabin concept received a lot of praise in previous months, particularly when it came to being recognised as sustainable. This came to light by the industry of leading experts who supported Onboard Hospitality Magazine in selecting a winner for these awards.
Iberia’s Customer Experience Director, Paula Lafora, had this to say:
“Receiving these awards demonstrates our constant commitment to customer service. In November 2024 we were the first airline in the world to use the A321XLR, a new model of narrow-body aircraft, but with range to make transoceanic flights. It was a challenge to create the best inflight experience for our customers, and this award is recognition of the tremendous work done by all the airline’s teams to make it possible.”
