Air New Zealand has been given the top spot – again – in the top ten airlines in 2017 by the leading airline safety and product rating review website, AirlineRatings.com.
It’s now the fourth year in a row for the Kiwi airline to receive the top spot, leaving Editor-in-Chief of Airlineratings.com, Geoffrey Thomas, with no other option than to describe the carrier as simply “exceptional.”
“In our objective analysis Air New Zealand came out number one in virtually all of our audit criteria, which is an exceptional performance.”
Geoffrey Thomas, Editor-in-Chief, Airlineratings.com
“The editorial team, one of the world’s most awarded and experienced, lauded Air New Zealand’s commitment to a young fleet and its continual focus on the environment. The airline also won Best Premium Economy Class for the third time. Air New Zealand has been a leader in the airline industry for years and has won countless awards including Air Transport World’s Airline of the Year in 2010 and 2012.
“Quite simply Air New Zealand is an airline of first choice. And given the airline’s location and the country’s size, its performance is even more remarkable,” said Mr Thomas.
For Air New Zealand’s CEO, Christopher Luxon, the slew of awards recognises all the hard work, effort, and investment the carrier has made making the customer experience as enjoyable as possible at 30,000 feet in the air.
“The past 12 months have been exceptional for Air New Zealand – we’ve continued to invest in a streamlined and refurbished fleet, launched three new international routes and rolled out improvements to the customer experience with enhanced inflight entertainment and a multi-million dollar lounge redevelopment programme.”
Christopher Luxon, CEO, Air New Zealand.
“Above all, the award is testament to the talented team of people who make Air New Zealand great by putting customers at the heart of everything we do.”
