PETALING JAYA: AirAsia has been named the world's best low-cost airline at the 2024 World Airline Awards by Skytrax, for the 15th year in a row.

It was also ranked 30th among the world's best airlines, up one place from No. 31 last year.

Capital A Bhd chief executive officer Tony Fernandes thanked travellers who voted for the airline and recognised its efforts to deliver best-in-class quality and excellence for the 15th consecutive year.

"No other companies come to my mind in achieving such a winning streak, and we are very proud of it.

"We dedicate this award to all of our Allstars who worked tirelessly to make (this) happen, and also to everyone who has remained loyal to us through the ups and downs AirAsia has experienced," he told Skytrax recently.

Malaysia Airlines ranked 39th this year, up from 47th last year.

Qatar Airways was voted the World's Top Airline, followed by Singapore Airlines and Emirates.

Bangkok Airways topped the list of World's Best Regional Airlines, followed by Aegean Airlines and Azerbaijan Airlines.

The World Airline Awards began in 1999 when Skytrax launched its first global annual customer satisfaction survey.
