Thoughts of the Qatar Airways Executive Body Regarding the Win of “World’s Best Airline”

Regarding the win of World’s Best Airline, Group Chief Executive Officer Qatar Airways, Engr Badr Mohammed Al-Meer, said:

 “Being named the World’s Best Airline by Skytrax for the ninth time is an extraordinary honour. This recognition is far more than an award, it is a celebration of the passion, precision and purpose that defines who we are as an airline. To retain this title in a highly competitive and ever-evolving global industry reflects the relentless efforts across every part of the business, from the frontline to behind-the-scenes, the passion and commitment of our people continue to set new standards in aviation.

He also added:

“We are equally proud to have been named the Best Airline in the Middle East, to once again hold the title of the World’s Best Business Class, and to be recognised for offering the Best Business Class Airline Lounge experience globally. These accolades reaffirm our ambition not only to lead, but to redefine what exceptional service means in aviation. Whether on the ground or in the air, we strive to deliver a seamless, elevated journey that anticipates the needs of our passengers and reflects the highest standards of quality, comfort, and innovation.

“Being continuously recognised as a Skytrax Five-Star Airline further underscores our mission: to set new benchmarks for the industry and to ensure that our passengers feel genuinely cared for, valued and inspired to return. These awards are not just wins for us, they are a tribute to the trust of millions of travellers who choose us every year and a clear validation of our vision to shape the future of air travel.”  

Skytrax CEO Edward Plaisted said

“It is a fabulous achievement for Qatar to win the World’s Best Airline title for 2025, the ninth time they have triumphed in the awards history. Qatar achieved excellent results across many award categories, with their Business Class winning the World’s Best Business Class, and their Al Mourjan Garden Lounge named the World’s Best Business Class Airline Lounge. We congratulate Qatar Airline on these successes, which should be a source of great pride and satisfaction for the airline management and staff.”

Before this, Qatar was named the World’s Best Airline in 2011, 2012, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2021, and 2022. Its most recent victory in 2024 further solidified its dedication to excellence.
