Singapore dethroned! These are the world’s best airlines for 2019

Singapore Airlines is no longer the World’s Best Airline, as named by the Skytrax World Airline Awards. The airline was bumped from the top by previous #2 Qatar Airways. It hasn’t been a hard fall from the top for Singapore though, they’ve just moved the one spot, claiming second place.

The rest of the top 10 are, in descending order, ANA All Nippon Airways, Cathay Pacific Airways, Emirates, EVA Air, Hainan Airways, Qantas Airways, Lufthansa and Thai Airways. All but Qantas was previously named to the top 10 in the 2018 listings with Garuda Indonesia being knocked out.

Here’s what you can expect from the Top 5 (in pictures!)
