How did they determine the winners?

Today Online reported that winners of the awards were determined through an online survey.

Around 21.65 million voters from over 100 countries had the chance to pick their favourites out of more than 300 airlines in the running.

The survey ran from Sep 2018 to May 2019.

The World Airline Awards is organised by London research firm Skytrax, and is sometimes dubbed the Oscars of the aviation industry.

Congratulations are in order

No matter the ranking, SIA is a champion to us all. Those who are looking to kickstart a career in the world’s best cabin crew, you’ll have lofty standards to keep up to.
