Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Akbar Al Baker expressed his happiness over receiving the recognition and thanked its passengers who voted for the company. “To have been recognised as a five-star global airline yet again is a tremendous achievement for Qatar Airways and is proof of the great heights to which we have soared during the past year. Such accomplishments push us to continue innovating and redefining the passenger experience,” he said.

The APEX Official Airline Ratings are certified by a professional external auditing company.
