voted and made us the best yet again. Not only does this

journeys seamless, but it also motivates us further to
achieve more.”

thousands of member airline employees across the network and
continued: “The commitment and effort of every employee at
Star Alliance and member airlines throughout a promising
2023 have culminated in this award. I proudly accept this
honour on their behalf and commend them for their
dedication. I encourage them to keep aiming for excellence
this year and in the future.”

The Star
Alliance lounge at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport opened
its doors in October 2023 and quickly became a favourite
among frequent flyers. This expansive 1,300 square metre
facility is conveniently located in Terminal 1, offering
exceptional runway views, a beautifully designed welcome
bar, and an immersive wine section for an authentic French
experience.
The Skytrax World Airline Awards, often
dubbed “the Oscars of the aviation industry”, celebrate
their 25th year with a reputation for their unbiased
international customer voting system. In 2024, a survey
conducted from September 2023 to March 2024 garnered 21.42
million eligible entries from passengers of over 100
nationalities. This survey was offered in six major
international languages.
Edward Plaisted, CEO of
Skytrax said: “We congratulate Star Alliance on a fabulous
double achievement at this year’s awards, winning the
World’s Best Airline Alliance and the World’s Best Airline
Alliance Lounge categories. The latest Star Alliance lounge
at Terminal 1, Paris CDG Airport has quickly established
itself as a flagship facility and a customer
favourite.”
In addition to the Alliance awards, 16
Star Alliance member airlines received 47 top honours in
individual categories, including World’s Best First Class,
Best Business Class Catering, and several best regional
airline
awards.
