Skytrax World Airline Awards, the global benchmark of airline excellence, has awarded AirAsia the World’s Best Low-Cost Airline at the Paris International Air Show on Tuesday, AirAsia announced on Wednesday in Manila.

It was the 11th year in a row for AirAsia to win the World’s Best Low-Cost Airline from Skytrax World Airline Awards. 

This year’s results were decided by a survey of 21.65 million customers of 100 nationalities who reviewed over 300 airlines from September 2018 to May 2019.

“The fact that these awards are based on direct feedback is gratifying and wonderful recognition for the Allstars who put so much effort and commitment into service excellence for our guests,” AirAsia Group Berhad executive chairman Datuk Kamarudin Meranun said in an emailed statement.

“It’s an honor to be recognized by Skytrax for the 11th consecutive year for our commitment to providing affordable travel and guest-obsessed service,” he added.

AirAsia also claimed the World’s Best Low-Cost Carrier Premium Cabin awards from Skytrax.

“We once again continue to be recognized as providing the World’s Best Low-Cost Carrier Premium Cabins on our long-haul flights. Today’s win represents nine years of being the world’s best in this category and is dedicated to our Allstars who have been steadfast in upholding our corporate culture, mission and vision,” said AirAsia X Berhad chairman Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz.

The awards were accepted on Tuesday at the Paris International Air Show by Meranun, Aziz, as well as AirAsia group deputy CEO (Airlines) Bo Lingam, AirAsia X Group CEO Nadda Buranasiri, and 11 Allstar cabin crew from Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and India. —VDS, GMA News
