SINGAPORE, June 27,
2024 /CNW/ - Star Alliance has been honored with the
title of World's Best Airline Alliance once again at this year's
prestigious Skytrax World Airline Awards. The Alliance's newly
launched Paris Charles de Gaulle airport lounge has also won the
World's Best Airline Alliance Lounge title in its first year. Star
Alliance CEO Theo Panagiotoulias received the awards at a ceremony
held at the iconic Fairmont Windsor
Park, UK.
Celebrating the occasion, Mr Panagiotoulias said: "We are
humbled to learn that millions of customers voted and made us the
best yet again. Not only does this acknowledge the effort we
dedicate to making customer journeys seamless, but it also
motivates us further to achieve more."
Mr Panagiotoulias also congratulated thousands of member airline
employees across the network and continued: "The commitment and
effort of every employee at Star Alliance and member airlines
throughout a promising 2023 have culminated in this award. I
proudly accept this honour on their behalf and commend them for
their dedication. I encourage them to keep aiming for excellence
this year and in the future."

represents a globally recognised brand committed to providing a
seamless experience for its collective customer base. Dedicated to
delivering a smoother journey, Star Alliance and its member
airlines offer the widest network in the sky, along with benefits
such as loyalty reciprocation, efficient baggage tracking,

The Star Alliance lounge at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport
opened its doors in October 2023 and
quickly became a favorite among frequent flyers. This expansive
1,300 square meter facility is conveniently located in Terminal 1,
offering exceptional runway views, a beautifully designed welcome
bar, and an immersive wine section for an authentic French
experience.
The Skytrax World Airline Awards, often dubbed "the Oscars of
the aviation industry," celebrate their 25th year with a reputation
for their unbiased international customer voting system. In 2024, a
survey conducted from September 2023
to March 2024 garnered 21.42 million
eligible entries from passengers of over 100 nationalities. This
survey was offered in six major international languages.
Edward Plaisted, CEO of Skytrax
said: "We congratulate Star Alliance on a fabulous double
achievement at this year's awards, winning the World's Best Airline
Alliance and the World's Best Airline Alliance Lounge categories.
The latest Star Alliance lounge at Terminal 1, Paris CDG Airport
has quickly established itself as a flagship facility and a
customer favourite."
In addition to the Alliance awards, 16 Star Alliance member
airlines received 47 top honours in individual categories,
including World's Best First Class, Best Business Class Catering,
