Skytrax, the prestigious international air transport rating organisation, has named Qatar Airways as the World’s Best Airline for a record-breaking ninth time.

The achievement reaffirms the airline’s steadfast commitment to delivering excellence across every touchpoint of the travel experience.

In addition to securing the airline industry’s highest accolade, Qatar Airways was also awarded:

• World’s Best Business Class.
• Best Airline in the Middle East.
• Best Business Class Airline Lounge (Al Mourjan Lounge – The Garden at Hamad International Airport).
• Skytrax Five-Star Airline recognition.

“Being named the World’s Best Airline by Skytrax for the ninth time is an extraordinary honour,” said Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Officer, Engr. Badr Mohammed Al-Meer.

“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.”

Skytrax CEO, Edward Plaisted, added: “It is a fabulous achievement for Qatar Airways to win the World’s Best Airline title for 2025, the ninth time they have triumphed in the awards’ history.

“Qatar Airways 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 Airways on these successes which should be a source of great pride and satisfaction for the airline management and staff.”

The recognitions are the latest milestone in what has already been an exceptional year for Qatar Airways, as the airline continues to enhance its network, product offerings and service innovation across its global operations.
