Trying to rank airlines is not an easy task and requires a lot of different calculations taken into context. Some of the most popular airlines come in the top 10 airlines of the world while some lesser known airlines also feature in this list because of their amazing array of services. One of the major factors in determining which airline features in this list is the number of cities that are connected by the airline and its parent country.
Another important factor is the hospitality of the onboard crew as well as the number of reported complaints against the airlines. Complaints cannot always be protected against but it is the attitude to redress these issues of an airline that make it more customer- friendly. Furthermore, the services offered in their economy and business class decides the particular ranks of airlines. One of the most followed ranking companies for airlines is SkyTrax. It gives out the World Airline Wards each year and even creates a list of airline ranks giving the top spot to the winner of this award.
According to its latest list, the top spot goes to the Singapore airlines owing to its high capacity to transport passengers that are in fact much more than the total population of the country. Following this is Cathy Pacific that has managed to stay in the top list for a long time now. Other airlines that feature in this list include Qantas, Thai Airways, Malaysia Airlines, Qatar Airlines, Air New Zealand, Emirates and Eithad Airways.
