The Skytrax customer survey operated for 23 months (September 2019 to July 2021), with the 2021 Awards representing a mix of more normal travel times combined with some travel during the global pandemic. Evaluating the Top 20 airlines, there have been some up and down movements versus 2019 results, although a core of airlines still dominate these higher positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>See also: <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/en\/2021\/09\/qatar-airways-annual-losses-double.html\"><em>Qatar Airways annual losses double.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heading up the winners is Qatar Airways, named as Airline of the Year 2021, with Singapore Airlines ranked 2nd, and ANA All Nippon Airways in 3rd place, out of more than 350 airlines included in the survey results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Qatar Airways also receives the awards for the World\u2019s Best Business Class, the World\u2019s Best Business Class Seat and the Best Airline in the Middle East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>See also: <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/en\/2021\/08\/the-worlds-best-airport-2021.html\"><em>Qatar\u2019s Hamad Airport dethrones Singapore\u2019s Changi as the \u201cWorld\u2019s Best Airport\u201d in 2021.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Singapore Airlines, ranked No 2 worldwide, wins the top accolade for the World\u2019s Best Cabin Crew, and is also honoured with awards for the World\u2019s Best First Class, the Best Airline in Asia and the World\u2019s Best First Class Seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ANA All Nippon Airways maintains its No 3 global ranking, and repeats its earlier success by winning the World\u2019s Best Airport Services award.
