Among the top few airlines in the world, Singapore Airlines came in at the number one spot, directly followed by Qatar Airways, ANA, Emirates, and EVA Air in the top 5.
The survey primarily focused on three criteria that passengers considered: cabin service, onboard product and food service, as well as ground and airport staff.
Both its short haul and long haul services came in with four stars, as well as the economy and business class services.
In response to their four-star ranking, Aer Lingus stated on their website: “The needs of our guests are central to everything we do and this achievement not only confirms that our service enhancements are responding to those needs, it also confirms our status as a global leader within the air travel industry.
