The results were also bad for Virgin Australia, which fell from 46th to 54th place in the top 100, while Jetstar fell from 69 to 74. The only Australian airline to improve its standing was Rex, which climbed six spots to 50th position.

The Middle Eastern airline also won the awards for best business class, the best business class lounge and the best airline in the Middle East.Singapore Airlines came second, followed by Emirates, Japan’s All Nippon Airways and Cathay Pacific.
