Qatar Airways, cea mai bună companie aeriană din lume

World Airline Awards reprezintă un reper în domeniul calităţii şi al excelenţei în industria aviatică, o competiţie anuală care se bazează pe votul călătorilor din întreaga lume. Vorbim de un echivalent al Oscarurilor, dar în industria aviatică, fiind o competiţie extrem de apreciată pentru transparenţa procedeelor şi pentru caracterul său independent (nu există niciun fel de influenţă externă).

Autoritatea de advertising din UK (ASA) a evaluat, în 2015, modul în care se desfăşoară procesul de vot şi de interpretare a rezultatelor şi a ajuns la concluzia că acestea sunt clare, conforme regulamtentelor şi independente.
