Skytrax Awards *

A surprise major award winner of the 2021 Skytrax awards was Saudi Arabian Airlines as the World’s Most Improved Airline.

Taking first place for the sixth time as The World’s Top Airline was Qatar Airways, followed by Singapore Airlines, and moving up ANA. No British airline featured in the major categories with the exception of Virgin Atlantic for its Inflight Entertainment and easyJet in the Low-Cost class, won by AirAsia.
