oneworld honoured as ‘best airline alliance’ twice over - again
02 December 2018- Global Traveler’s GT Tested Reader Survey winner for ninth year running
- Business Traveler North America’s recipient for fourth consecutive year
oneworld® has won two more Best Airline Alliance awards, confirming its standing as the world’s most highly prized global airline alliance.
These latest accolades come in independent surveys conducted by two leading USA-based magazines for regular flyers.
oneworld was named Best Airline Alliance, for the ninth year running, by Global Traveler in its 2018 GT Tested Reader Survey.
And for the fourth consecutive year, oneworld was also judged Best Airline Alliance in Business Traveler North America’s 2018 Best in Business Travel Awards.
oneworld is also the current holder of four other Best Airline Alliance awards:
- FlightStats’ Airline Alliance On-Time Performance Service Award, for the fifth year running.
- Business Traveller UK’s Best Airline Alliance for the sixth year in a row.
- Trazees’ Favorite Airline Alliance, for the second time.
- World Travel Awards’ World’s Leading Airline Alliance 2017 for the 15th year running.
This means that oneworld now holds twice as many Best Airline Alliance honours as both other global airline alliances combined.
