Star Alliance has been named as the World’s
Leading Airline Alliance at the World Travel Awards for the third
consecutive year.
Graham E Cooke, Founder, World Travel Awards,
said, “Star Alliance continues to set the benchmark for global
aviation and I am delighted that both the travel trade and the
public have acknowledged this by voting it the World’s Leading
Airline Alliance 2022 at the World Travel Awards. Earlier this
year, Star Alliance’s groundbreaking LA lounge was also the
runaway winner for North America’s Leading Airport Lounge once
again.”
A number of Star Alliance member carriers also
came away as individual winners this year. Nine airlines won awards
in 21 categories, ranging from World’s Leading Airline – First
Class (Singapore Airlines), to Leading Airlines in Europe (Turkish
Airlines), Oceania (Air New Zealand), Asia (Vietnam Airlines) and Mexico &
Central America (Copa Airlines).
“We are extremely delighted to be receiving the
World Travel Awards for the third consecutive year. This is
particularly fitting as we celebrate our 25th anniversary this
year,” said Star Alliance CEO, Jeffrey Goh. “These awards are testimony to
the great work that more than 400,000 employees across the Star
Alliance network do each day in delivering safe and seamless
travel, and also to all the customers who have continued to give
us and our member carriers their confidence and support.”
Now in its 29th edition, the annual World Travel Awards
are based on a worldwide
poll of qualified executives working within travel and tourism,
as well as travellers.
