Frequently-asked Questions

How are airline and airport ratings applied?

Ratings are applied following detailed analysis of the airline or airport quality standards by Skytrax audit office. The ratings use a quality scale from 1-Star through to the exclusive 5-Star Airline and 5-Star Airport ranking. The ratings are based on appraisal of airline and airport front-line product and service standards, using a unified and consistent rating system. The ratings focus on the quality of customer experience for relevant product and service factors.
