Surprisingly, the US does not have any airlines in the world's top

In terms of fleet size, American airlines are often at the top but are always absent from the world's best rankings.

In the 2025 World Airlines Rankings published by Skytrax, US airlines continued to be outside the top 20. The New York Post had to exclaim: "Alas, US airlines cannot 'fly' high on the list with Delta Air Lines ranked highest at 22nd place, followed by United Airlines at 51st place." These are the two largest airlines in the US, but both dropped in rank compared to 2024.

Meanwhile, Air Canada tops the list of top North American airlines in 2025, with Delta Air Lines coming in second and another Canadian airline, Porter Airlines, coming in third. US airlines have consistently been rated poorly in terms of service…

Dubbed the Oscars of the aviation industry, the 2025 World Airline Awards took place on June 17 at the Paris Air Show, France, and are annually conducted by international air transport rating company Skytrax.

The results were determined by a global passenger satisfaction survey conducted between September 2024 and May 2025. Participants, representing more than 100 different nationalities, selected the winners from a pool of 325 different airlines.

This year, Qatar Airways was named the world's best airline, marking the ninth consecutive year the Middle Eastern carrier has topped the list.

The airline also won the award for world's best business class while Al Mourjan Garden Lounge at Doha Airport, Qatar was named world's best business class lounge.

The remaining list in the top 10 is mostly Asian airlines, including: Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Emirates, ANA All Nippon Airways, Turkish Airlines, Korean Air, Air France, Japan Airlines, Hainan Airlines.

Meanwhile, Vietnam's representative, Vietnam Airlines, ranked 47th in 2024 but fell to 62nd this year.
