Emirates has been awarded the highly coveted World’s Best Airline award, presented by Skytrax at the 2013 World Airline Awards.

In addition to winning World’s Best Airline, Emirates scooped up a further two awards, including Best Middle East Airline and, for a record ninth year in a row, World’s Best Inflight Entertainment.

The awards were collected by Tim Clark, president, Emirates Airline, at the Paris Airshow. The Skytrax World Airline Awards polled over 18 million business and leisure air travellers from more than 160 countries.

“For us, the awards clearly reflect a vote of confidence from global travellers, who acknowledge and appreciate our continuous drive to deliver high-quality service. To be voted World’s Best Airline by millions of discerning travellers really is something for our 60,000 strong workforce to be proud of,” Mr Clark said.

Last year, over 39 million customers flew with Emirates. The inflight entertainment system offers over 1,400 channels of entertainment.
