The World’s Best Airlines For Business Travel In 2017

And the world’s new No.1 airline for business travel in 2017 is … Singapore Airlines.

It’s no surprise that Singapore Airlines has been named the world’s best airline for business travel by the CEOWORLD magazine. The Doha-based airline Qatar Airways was named the second best airline for 2017, while Lufthansa and Emirates took our third and fourth places respectively.

All Nippon Airways (ANA) came fifth ahead of EVA Air in sixth, while Cathay Pacific, Garuda Indonesia, Hainan Airlines, and Etihad Airways completed the top 10.

The CEOWORLD magazine rankings are based on the impressions of 137,000 business travellers from 63 different countries. The survey, which covered more than 200 airlines, measured 10 major indicators of quality and influence:

Global reputation, passenger reviews, quality of service, cleanliness, staff management, food quality, product offerings, fleet age, passenger comfort, and boarding procedures.

CEOWORLD magazine is a business publication written expressly and strictly for CEOs, CFOs, other senior management executives, business leaders, and high net worth individuals worldwide.

To establish our list, we collected information and statistics from publicly available sources, Airline’s website, our research, and survey. It measures the quality and influence of airlines, without relying on company data submissions. Business travellers were asked to rate airlines on a scale of 1 “marginal” to 100 “outstanding” or “don’t know.”

The overall score are numerical scores given to the airline based on business travellers feedback. Overall scores are out of 100.

Australia’s Qantas Airways took the No. 11 spot in 2017, followed by the Swiss International Air Lines (No.12) and Air France (No.13). Meanwhile, Thai Airways ranked No. 14 in the CEOWORLD magazine’s ranking of the world’s best airlines for business travel in 2017.
