QATAR Airways (QA) has been awarded 'Best Cabin Service' and 'Best Food and Beverage' at the 2017 APEX Passenger Choice Awards held during the annual APEX Expo recently.
The airline also received the evening's highest ranking as a 2018 five-star airline from over half a million passengers who took part in the highly influential awards.
The latest accolades were presented to the 2018 five-star global airline during the APEX EXPO Awards Ceremony in Long Beach, California, the USA.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Akbar al Baker said:"We are delighted to win these two amazing awards, especially as they are voted for by the people we care about the most our passengers. It is their vote of confidence in us, which spurs us on to continually enhance their experiences on all of our flights around the world."
"The awards, combined with being named Airline of the Year 2017 by Skytrax earlier this year, vindicate our continuing investment to ensure our award-winning five-star service is the best in the world and our passengers can enjoy unrivalled standards of cabin service with the best dining in the sky."
QA was the only airline at the prestigious event to win two out of the top five awards. The ceremony was hosted by Guy Brian Kelly of The Points Guy, a website which offers worldwide points, miles and travel related tips for frequent fliers.
These latest awards come just a month after QA clinched the 'Best Up In The Air Experience' award for the third consecutive year and the 'Best Baggage Initiative' award at the Future Travel Experience Global 2017 awards ceremony, held in Las Vegas.
The 2017 APEX Passenger Choice Awards were collated using the TripIt app from Concur, the travel management experts, travellers rated more than 500,000 flights on a five-star scale, from October, 2016, through July, 2017. The ratings determined the winners of the Passenger Choice Awards, with four and five-star-rated airlines rated in the categories of Global, Major Regional and Low-Cost airlines.
The latest awards come in tandem with a series of recent innovations announced by the airline. (TNN)
