Air Malta ranks fifth best regional airline in Europe

Air Malta has been rated as the fifth best regional airline in Europe for 2017 at the TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards for airlines.

The ranking, released by the world’s largest travel site, lists the best airlines in the world in various categories for outstanding service, quality and value as ranked by travellers. The award winners were determined using an algorithm that took into account the quantity and quality of airline reviews and ratings submitted by travellers worldwide, over a 12-month period.

The results were entirely based on reviews submitted by Air Malta passengers on TripAdvisor. Travellers’ Choice is TripAdvisor’s flagship awards programme in travel and hospitality, and clearly shows the travellers point of view without any commercial involvement.

Commenting on this achievement, Chief Commercial Officer Paul Sies said: “This is more good news for Air Malta. We are thrilled at this result which is based on unbiased reviews and passenger feedback. Although we are very critical on ourselves, it reflects our staff’s commitment to deliver a superior travel experience for our customers even in challenging times. I wish to thank all our staff and specially the front-liners and back-office employees who believe that Air Malta is more than just an airline. They work together tirelessly to provide great service to our guests. It is through their efforts that we manage to get such great reviews.”
