In addition to the Airline of the Year award, the airline also collected two other awards: Best Business Class Airline Seat and Best Airline in the Middle East for a record eighth time.
The awards come at a time when the airline has experienced remarkable growth, given the major enhancements to its fleet in the last 10 months, with the entry into service of the Airbus A380 and the Airbus A350 as the Global Launch Customer.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Officer, His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker attributed the awards to passion and dedication exhibited by the employees.
"Becoming an award-winning airline takes dedication and passion – and retaining such a ranking takes commitment, which I thank, each and every team member at Qatar Airways for," Mr Akbar said.
“Our passengers are at the heart of everything we do at Qatar Airways, and we are very proud to be recognised by them and to receive these three Skytrax awards," he added.
The Skytrax World Airline Awards are widely known as the Passengers Choice Awards with millions of travellers, from 160 different countries, participating in passenger satisfaction surveys to decide 2015’s winners.
