The airline also jumped two spots from 7th to 5th place in the top ten airlines in 2017.

Virgin Australia’s two awards are in recognition of the airline’s continual push in product innovation and customer service. The Best Cabin Crew award recognises the incredible service and professionalism provided by Virgin Australia’s Cabin Crew. It is the third year in a row that the airline has received this award.

“We are very proud to once again have our incredible Cabin Crew recognised for being the best in the world. Every time you step on a Virgin Australia aircraft, our Cabin Crew’s infectious enthusiasm and commitment to providing great service is evident.”

According to Airlineratings.com Editor-in-Chief, Geoffrey Thomas, Virgin Australia’s commitment to customer service at 30,000 feet in the air is second to none.

“Virgin Australia’s cabin crew treat every passenger whether in row 1 or at the back of the aircraft as a special guest. Their commitment to their passengers is outstanding and is a benchmark of what cabin service should be.
