Cathay Pacific tops world’s best airline list Cathay Pacific has topped the world’s best airline awards, knocking last year’s winner Qatar Airways into second place. The Hong Kong based airline also becomes the first airline to win the award four times. Air New Zealand came in 16th place on the world list, as troubled Australian airline Qantas slipped out of the top 10 list into position 11. But locally, Air New Zealand fared better, ranking at third place behind Qantas and Virgin Australia for the Best in Australia and Pacific category. Air New Zealand also ranked eighth in the ‘best inflight entertainment’ section. The awards are the most high-profile in the aviation industry and were announced at the Farnborough International Air Show in the UK. Over 19 million passengers worldwide are surveyed for the awards which cover 245 airlines. The disappearance of MH370 appears to have seriously effected Malaysian Airline’s ranking, with the airline ranking 18th in the list, having previously being a regular in the top 10 list, although the airline’s crew ranked fifth in the Best Cabin Crew section.
