The top and bottom airlines of 2023 have been unveiled, revealing surprises and critical issues within the industry. Factors like modern aircraft, comfortable seating, and hospitable staff contribute to global airline rankings. However, one significant oversight, according to a passenger rights company, is how airlines manage crises and assist customers during challenging situations.
"It's essential to assess an airline not just by its regular service but also by how it handles disruptions,"
stated the report.
The AirHelp Score, an annual evaluation of 83 airlines, considered accuracy, customer feedback, and the efficiency of addressing compensation claims. Each aspect held equal weight in the scoring system, as explained by Tomasz Pawliszyn, AirHelp's CEO.
The list of leading and lagging airlines for 2023, based on data from January 1 to September 30, has been revealed:
Top Airlines:
Qatar Airways ā 8.38
Eurowings ā 8.27
LOT Polish Airlines ā 8.11
