For its innovative onboard products, Qatar Airways has won the APEX Passenger Choice award for ‘Best Overall Airline: Middle East’; ‘Best Food and Beverage: Middle East'; 'Best Cabin Service: Middle East’; and ‘Best Seat Comfort: Middle East’

The awards were presented to the airline by the Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX) at APEX Asia held on 14 March in Shanghai where the airline also received a 2018 Five-Star APEX Official Airline rating.

The APEX awards come in tandem with a series of recent innovations announced by the airline to continually improve the passenger experience, including enhancements to the airline’s in-flight catering.

The airline also recently launched a premium global chauffeur service for passengers, offering door-to-door seamless transfers.

Qatar Airways last year launched its groundbreaking new Business Class seat, Qsuite, featuring the industry’s first-ever double bed available in Business Class, with privacy panels that stow away, allowing passengers in adjoining seats to create their own private room.

Qatar Airways enjoyed a record-breaking year in 2017, with more than 50 individual awards across multiple categories.

With a modern fleet of over 200 aircraft, Qatar Airways currently flies to over 150 destinations across six continents. Last month, it became the first airline to operate the Airbus A350-1000.
