DOHA: Qatar Airways recently won the Aviation Business Award for Inflight Services of the Year at the annual Aviation Business Awards gala dinner at the Le Meridien Hotel in Abu Dhabi.
“To be honoured with this latest award is further testament to the superior onboard experience that the airline offers to its passengers both in terms of cabin crew service and inflight entertainment,” said Akbar Al Baker, Qatar Airways chief executive officer.
“The airline crew continues to demonstrate commitment and dedication to the airline in doing an outstanding job of looking after our passengers. We are delighted to receive this award,” said Al Baker.
The winners of the Aviation Business Awards were chosen by a panel of judges selected from within the aviation industry and the event was attended by more than 250 of the region’s
[Now this I find hard to believe! Ok at best, but "outstanding"!! I don't think so.]
QA is good though i can't say that its the best airline in the region. I had a flight experience of quality, on time schedules, friendly genuine service and very attractive flight attendants. Congratulations! Other airlines have a lot to live up to! 777 of QA is a very beautiful machine!
cheers,

I am so glad for u Qlrs, evrytime u speak about qatarairways, second day they win a new prize, keep talking to keep winning..
Direct flights are usually the reason we choose QR. I've never had a problem with the in-flight service. They bring me food, they bring me drinks. What more do you want?!
The only issue I could have is that they all seem sh!t scared of telling anyone to sit down or turn off their mobile, which is a shame cos a lot of passengers in the middle east seem to think it's fine to wonder around when the seatbelt sign is on, leave their mobile on for the entire flight, and get up and get their bags out before the plane has finished taxiing.
direct flights...trust me if you are doing a 17+ hour flight, changing planes 3 or more times and sitting in airports, isn't the way to go.
QA..usually I love their service...however, on my recent flight to Muscat, the service was, I shall be nice and say, LACKING.....
This was the first time I've ever had bad service from them but maybe it was the crew that did that particular flight because it was very poor both on the way and the way back.
Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.
You can't teach experience...
If its such a joke why would people be flying Qr so frequently instead of Ek or Lufthansa or so many other airlines who operate out of Doha....
I prefer the QR crew over Ek's any day.. Even air france the crew is so grumpy n very unpleasant...
Well considering this was an business magazine awards ceremony I'm guessing the emphasis was on business class.
Tallg.. even then.. within middle east itself QR got to go a long way.. I would rate the third after Emirates and Etihad in terms of inflight/crews.

Yes, but when you consider they're only competing against other Middle East airlines it's unlikely they'd need to bother to 'pay' for this award. The standards are all pretty similar.
MD well said my man..
-----------------
HE WHO DARES WINS
Gulf Times says that "Aviation Business" is a Middle East based publication, so it seems this award was just for the Middle East.
MD is right... Its a joke... Inflight service and QR cews!!!!!!! NO COMMENTS

Well if it was just this region (though it doesn't specifically say that) then it's not that hard to believe.
Hey!!! if you read properly....it is only among the Arabian airlines. If you have flown Singapore Airlines or Cathay Pacific...............Qatar Airways is just a one-star airline
Is this just for business class?
Another clever "purchase" of honor.
Kudos, Qatar Airways!!! Keep Discovering on Taking you More Personally !!!!!
