Qatar Airways has been awarded 'Best Cabin Service' and 'Best Food and Beverage' at the 2017 APEX Passenger Choice Awards held at the annual APEX Expo, Qatar News Agency (QNA) reported.
The airline also received the evening's highest ranking as a 2018 five-star airline from over half a million passengers who took part in the highly influential awards.
The latest accolades were presented to the 2018 five-star global airline during the APEX EXPO Awards Ceremony in Long Beach, California, US.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Akbar Al Baker said, "We are delighted to win these two amazing awards, especially as they are voted for by the people we care about most our passengers. It is their vote of confidence in us which spurs us on to continually enhance the customer experience for all of our passengers on all of our flights around the world.
"The awards, combined with being named 'Airline of the Year 2017' by SKYTRAX earlier this year, vindicate our continuing investment to ensure our award-winning five-star service is the best in the world and our passengers can enjoy unrivalled standards of cabin service with the best dining in the sky."
Qatar Airways was the only airline at the prestigious event to win two out of the top five awards. The ceremony was hosted by Guy Brian Kelly of The Points Guy, a website which offers worldwide points, miles and travel related tips for frequent fliers.
These latest awards come just a month after Qatar Airways clinched the 'Best Up In The Air Experience' award for the third consecutive year and the 'Best Baggage Initiative' award at the Future Travel Experience Global 2017 awards ceremony, held in Las Vegas.
The award-winning airline has received a number of other major accolades this year, including Airline of the Year in the prestigious 2017 Skytrax World Airline Awards, which was held at the Paris Air Show. This is the fourth time that Qatar Airways has been given this global recognition.
