The past two years have been unusual for the aviation industry. Travel has resumed after months of grounding on account of the epidemic, but many international airlines and airports are reporting cancellations and delays.
The annual rating of the world’s best airlines has been published by Australian aviation safety and product rankings company AirlineRankings.com during this hectic travel season.
According to AirlineRankings.com, along with profitability, the editorial team also assessed the age of every airline’s fleet, environmental and safety data, customer reviews and product offerings.
