Everyone loves to travel. This year commercial aircraft will carry nearly four billion passengers, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), nearly double the number of just 12 years ago.That’s over half of the world’s population (though the number represents journeys as opposed to unique passengers). That’s a staggering amount of travelers and around over 40 million flights.
So, who were named as the best top 5 airlines last year? Emirates first, Qatar Airways second, Singapore Airlines third, Cathay Pacific fourth and ANA round out the top five. Two interesting insights, all from either the Middle East and all feature heavy on the luxury end of travel.
So is it the glamour of travel and the high standard of service that attracts their high standings. I imagine also the fact they are hub airports (apart from Japan) helps their cause.
With companies like Airbnb opening up the world locally yet politics making laws stricter will budget airlines continue to thrive or as their service worsens slowly die off? And let’s not even begin on the the troubles US domestic travel farce.
What’s been your favourite airline to travel and what do you think could make an to improvement travel.
