SIA - world's best for the 10th time

SINGAPORE Airlines (SIA) has been voted World's Best International Airline for the 10th straight year, in a survey conducted by Travel And Leisure magazine.

For the first time, SIA's wholly owned subsidiary, SilkAir, was among the top 10 in the survey, launched 10 years ago by the American travel publication.

SilkAir, which was in 10th place, was the only regional carrier to make it to the list.

Rankings were based on readers' average ratings in five areas: cabin comfort, food, inflight service, customer service and value. SIA scored 88.43 and SilkAir, 72.55 out of a possible 100 points. Commenting on the achievements, SIA chief executive Chew Choon Seng said: 'We are appreciative of the support that our customers have shown us all these years. These awards are an encouragement to our staff to continue their good work and to do even better.'

SIA was ranked ahead of Emirates of the United Arab Emirates, Cathay Pacific of Hong Kong, Thai Airways International and Malaysia Airlines.
