Skytrax were delighted that 40 of the 42 winning airlines were able to personally

guests that attended the awards ceremony in Paris. The event was a great
success and after much hard work it is very satisfying for our Market Research
team to see the winning airlines receive their awards." said Edward Plaisted,
Chairman and CEO, Skytrax.  "Our research department spends many hundreds
of hours analysing the survey data to determine the final winners and to ensure an
accurate result. This involves screening every single survey response to identify,
verify and monitor ISP and user information and delete any duplicate or suspect
entries."
"In addition to the results preparation, a significant amount of time is spent on the
logistical aspects of the awards ceremony and I would again thank my office for
ensuring that over 150 attendees from across the world were in the right place, at
the right time" added Plaisted.   "Skytrax would also recognise the efforts of GIFAS
/ Paris Air Show organiser and thank their team for the expertise they provided
before, during and after the ceremony."

The World Airline Awards™, known as the Passengers Choice Awards, are
recognised as the primary benchmarking tool for Passenger Satisfaction levels for
airlines across the world - constituting a unique survey format based on analysis of
business and leisure travellers and across all cabin classes (First, Business,
Premium Economy and Economy).

The study analyses customer satisfaction for the Airline Passenger Experience,
across the Airport and Onboard environments in more than 40 different areas -
check-in to boarding, onboard seat comfort, cabin cleanliness, food, beverages, IFE
and staff service.

Commenting on the Airline of the Year 2011 award to Qatar Airways, Mr Plaisted
said: "It is very special to see Qatar Airways being named as Worlds Best Airline
in the awards, and represents the culmination of a steady progress towards this top
position by Qatar Airways in recent years. From 8th place six years ago, they have
moved up the global ranking, and now occupy this top position as world's best
airline. The award reflects opinions of passengers around the world, and is based
on every customer type across all cabins - be they business or leisure, frequent or
first-time flyers."
