offering services at reasonable prices. They all differ from each other. Some
are good, while some are excellent. In this Blog, we will list the 10 Best
Premium Carriers of the World. These are not Low-Cost Carriers, but Airlines
with Premium services. The rankings are based on Customer Feedback, Services
Offered, Safety Record, Maintenance, Passenger Handling, Fleet and
Connectivity. These rankings are as per July 2017. Let’s get started…….
1. Emirates: Dubai based Emirates is the best Airline in
the world today. It has a Fleet of over 260 Planes, including 90 A380s. It
flies to all six continents, with over 150 Destinations. It has won Awards for
its In-Flight Entertainment, Cabin Crew, Economy Class seating, Business and First-Class

Winning Business Class and Cabin Crew. The service quality is excellent with a
great passenger feedback. Singapore Airlines has had an excellent safety and
maintenance record. Just like Emirates, its A380s are also famous for luxurious
travel. it has a fleet of over 120 planes with over 60 Destinations.
3. Qatar Airways: Doha based Qatar
Airways is another outstanding Airline. With a Fleet of over 150 jets, it
serves over 130 Destinations. Being a direct competitor to Emirates, it just
lacks in Connectivity and Premium services. Otherwise, it has a great safety
and maintenance record, passenger feedback and Customer Handling. It was the
First Airline to Fly the A350, and has a variety of other jets including A380s
and B777s. it stands at Number 3.
4. Etihad Airways: Based in Abu Dhabi, Etihad Airways is the
youngest of all. Started in 2003 with a fleet of just over 100 planes, Etihad
has grown exponentially in the last few years. It is one of the fastest growing
Airlines in the world. It took them just a few years to attract millions of
passengers from all over the world. Experts say, if the growth continues like
this, it will surpass Emirates one day. It has excellent cabin crew, safety and
Maintenance. The most distinctive feature of Etihad is the First-Class Apartments
on its A380s, a must see for everyone.
5. Cathay Pacific: The Hong Kong
based Cathay Pacific stands at Number 5. Having over 120 planes, Cathay Pacific
is one of the cleanest and Comfortable Airlines. Besides having a good safety
record, Cathay Pacific is famous among Passengers travelling around Asia,
Australia, North America and Europe. It is complimented by a Beautiful Airport
in Hong Kong. The only drawback was that Cathay Pacific doesn’t have A380s. Many
passengers want Cathay to operate A380s as well.
6. Turkish Airlines: Number 6 on our
list is Turkish Airlines. Based in Istanbul, it is another Middle East carrier
with Excellent service. The Cabin Crew and In-Flight services are good, the
biggest advantage with Turkish Airlines is that it has Destinations in over 100
countries. It has the widest network on our list. It has a good safety and
maintenance record. If Turkish Airlines introduces A380s and some more
luxurious seating, we will see the ranking improve.
7. Qantas: The Australian National
Carrier Qantas is at Number 7. Having a large Fleet with an excellent safety
record, Qantas is famous in the Australian, Asian and Oceanic Region. Qantas
has great service on its Domestic as well as International Routes. Its A380s
are famous on Long Haul Routes. Besides that, it has a Good Entertainment
System, Safety Record, Cabin Crew and Passenger Feedback. The only drawback is
its location. Australia is situated far from most of the world, which doesn’t
allow the Airline to connect to all Major destinations.
8. Lufthansa: Based in Frankfurt,
Lufthansa has a Fleet of over 250 Aircrafts flying all over the world. It may
have one of the largest fleet of Airplanes, but lacks in cabin services when
compared to the above 7. It has a good safety record, Maintenance, Seating and
Cabin Crew. Its A380s and B747s have always been popular among passengers.
Facing stiff competition from the Middle East Giants, Lufthansa need to improve
its services and operations in order to improve the ranking. Meanwhile, it
stands at Number 8.

Heathrow, British Airways just makes it to the Top 10 List. It has high quality
standards, and fighting hard with its Middle East Rivals. British Airways was
once the Best Airline, but was overtaken by the Gulf Giants. BA is famous for
its Premium Seating, Services and Customer Handling. It has had a good safety
record. It has Destinations in all the 6 Continents. Besides that, it offers
connections between North America and Asia. Its A380s, B747s and B777s have

Travellers, but we think they need to do more to outperform other toppers.
