Qatar Airways has been named Best Airline at the prestigious 2019 Business Traveler Awards, held on Monday 7 October at Londons Royal Garden Hotel in front of 250 industry leaders.

In addition to being voted Best Airline by readers of Business Traveler, the airline was also awarded Best Long-Haul Airline, Best Business Class and Best Middle Eastern Airline.

Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker, said: "To be recognized once again by the readers of Business Traveler with these prestigious awards is a huge honor for Qatar Airways and an appreciation of our promise to consistently deliver a truly world-class service."

Business Traveler readers are invited to vote for the awards, which are then further authenticated by an independent auditing company.

The awards were collected from the host, BBC News journalist John Pienaar, on behalf of Qatar Airways by the airlines European Senior Vice President Sylvain Bosc and UK and Ireland Country Manager Gary Kershaw.

The haul is the latest in a string of awards successes for Qatar Airways, as the airline was also named Worlds Best Airline by the 2019 World Airline Awards, managed by international air transport rating organisation Skytrax. It also collected Best Airline in the Middle East, Worlds Best Business Class and Best Business Class Seat, in recognition of its ground-breaking Business Class experience, Qsuite.
