Since 1999, the independent British organization Skytrax has established an annual world ranking of the best airlines.

Customers had to answer various questions relating to their trip: quality of service in the cabin, quality of the flight (seat comfort, quality of meals, choice of audiovisual programmes, etc.), experience before and after the flight (ease of booking in line, waiting time, baggage delivery, etc.), but also a questionnaire relating to the various measures taken to fight against Covid-19.
