SKYTRAX Research has today confirmed that Qatar Airways has been Certified as a world 5-Star Airline for the 2009/2010 ranking period, repeating it's earlier quality ranking success in this exclusive group of airlines.

Commenting on the latest Certification, Edward Plaisted (Skytrax CEO) said .... "this 5-Star Airline Certification is the ultimate Quality Approval that an airline can receive in recognition of its front-line Product and Service quality. We are delighted to see Qatar Airways again measuring up to the highest quality requirements that are inherent in the 5-Star status."

Qatar Airways is the only airline in the Middle East region to have gained this 5-Star Airline certification, and one of just six airlines worldwide that currently meet the exacting and rigorous quality criteria set for this ultimate ranking.

The 5-Star Airline status is awarded to airlines achieving the very highest Quality performance across all front-line areas that passengers will experience.
