Emirates Airlines has topped the list as the ‘World’s Best Airline’ among 90 global carriers in a recent study conducted by Telegraph Travel. In an announcement made on Friday, it was highlighted that more than 30 factors contributed to Emirates’ ranking, including punctuality, baggage allowance, route network, main airport quality, fleet age, rewards program value, and in-flight meal quality. The data was sourced from over 18 independent international awards, reader surveys, review websites, and expert evaluations.
The study described Emirates as a ‘commendable winner’ and emphasized that the airline met ‘virtually everything from baggage allowance to punctuality.’ Emirates operates the largest number of double-decker Airbus A380s, and the research also noted that the Premium Economy class on these A380s is the best in the skies.
Achievements and Awards
In Telegraph Travel’s study, 30,000 readers selected Emirates as the best long-haul carrier globally. The airline has received 19 additional awards and recognitions this year, including seven at the Skytrax World Airline Awards in June. In May 2024, Emirates won the ‘World’s Best Airline’ award at the Business Traveller Middle East Awards, along with four other honors: ‘Best Airline with Premium Economy,’ ‘Best Airline with First Class,’ ‘Best Middle Eastern Airport Lounge,’ and ‘Best Airline with Frequent Flyer Program.’
Additionally, Emirates Skywards won the ‘Middle East Global Loyalty Program of the Year’ at the International Loyalty Awards in May 2024. In March 2024, Emirates also topped the ‘Best In-Flight Entertainment’ and ‘Best Premium Economy’ categories at the AirlineRatings.com Airline Excellence Awards.
Emirates clarified that it has no affiliations with any awards or surveys, does not pay for participation in such events, and does not sponsor the awards, rankings, or surveys mentioned above.
