Sono stati assegnati i premi 2018 degli Skytrax Awards, riconoscimento internazionale per le migliori performance nei cieli delle compagnie aeree.
Nel 2018 il premio principale, quello di migliore compagnia aerea del mondo è stato vinto da Singapore Airlines che ha scalzato dal gradino più alto del podio Qatar Airways, giunta seconda. Al terzo posto si conferma invece la compagnia aerea giapponese ANA. Poche sorprese nella top ten: 9 su 10 sono le stesse del 2017. L’unica novità è Thai Airwais che passa al 10° posto dopo il crollo di Etihad che da ottava è diventata quindicesima.
Oltre al premio per la migliore compagnia aerea sono circa 150 i riconoscimenti assegnati dagli Skytrax Awards. Tra queste segnaliamo che l’unica compagnia italiana premiata è Blue Panorama, vincitrice del premio Best Leisure Airline in Italy.
