World's best airlines in 2024 ranked

Skytrax released its 2024 rankings for the world's best airlines this week, and the winner is familiar to the top spot. See where U.S. carriers landed on the list.

Travelers from across the globe have spoken, and the rankings are in for the world's best airlines.

Skytrax released this year's results Tuesday at its World Airlines Awards – dubbed the "Oscars of the aviation industry" – and the winner was in familiar territory. But on the list of 100, no U.S. carriers made the top 20.

Here are the world's best airlines in 2024, according to Skytrax, which included 350 carriers in its survey:

Qatar Airways took the top spot in the rankings this year, winning for the eighth time in the survey's 25-year history. The Doha-based carrier is the national airline of the State of Qatar, and it also won World’s Best Business Class, World’s Best Business Class Lounge and the Best Airline in the Middle East.

THESE ARE THE TOP-RATED AIRLINES FOR CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

Singapore Airlines, the 2023 winner, was dethroned this year but still came in second overall for 2024. The customer service-focused airline kept its title of World's Best First Class, and was also awarded World's Best Cabin Staff and Best Airline in Asia.

Emirates, the state-owned airline of the United Arab Emirates, rose one spot in the ranking this year to become the third-best overall. The Dubai-headquartered airline also took home the award for World's Best Airline Inflight Entertainment for the 18th time.
