Qatar Airways is delighted to announce that it has received the 2021 Airline Passenger Experience Association’s (APEX) Five Star Global Official Airline RatingTM. The APEX Award Ceremony was held during the FTE APEX Virtual Expo on 9 December.
Over the past year, APEX certified nearly one million flights rated by passengers across more than 600 airlines from around the world.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker, said: “We are thrilled to have been awarded the 2021 Five Star Global Official Airline RatingTM, and we extend our sincere thanks to our many loyal passengers who have voted for us. 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.”
The APEX Official Airline Ratings™ were created based on neutral, third-party passenger feedback and insights gathered through APEX’s partnership with TripIt® from Concur®, the world’s highest-rated travel-organising app. Using a five-star scale, nearly one million flights were rated by passengers across more than 600 airlines from around the world. The APEX Official Airline Ratings™ were independently certified by a professional external auditing company.
