It is the only airline listed by Skytrax to receive a lowly one-star rating out of a possible five, due to its Soviet-era planes, rudimentary safety belts, and questionable safety. Photo: Alamy
Middle-Eastern carrier Qatar Airways has been named the world's best airline, taking out "Airline of the Year" at the annual World Airline Awards, while Qantas has climbed back into the top 10.
Announced at the Paris Air Show on Tuesday, the World Airline Awards, run by research firm Skytrax, are among the most high-profile awards in the aviation industry.
Qatar climbed back into the No.1 slot in the airline rankings after losing first place to Cathay Pacific last year. It is the third time Qatar has taken out the top spot. It also took out the award for the best business class seat.
