AC tops Skytrax awards

Air Canada has been named the ‘Best International Airline in North America’ in a worldwide survey of air travellers for the Skytrax World Airline Awards. In what Skytrax termed “a remarkable repeat success,” it is the third consecutive year Air Canada has ranked among the top global carriers in the awards, which surveyed more than 18 million passengers worldwide. The annual survey, whose findings were announced during the Farnborough International Airshow, is regarded in the air transport industry as a key benchmarking tool for airline passenger satisfaction levels. Calin Rovinescu, president and CEO of Air Canada, observed: “This top rating by air travellers for three consecutive years demonstrates that passengers appreciate the Air Canada travel experience including our recently expanded, award-winning seat-back entertainment system offering, concierge service, enhanced mobile and online services and the evolution of our Maple Leaf lounge product. The award also recognizes the dedication and professionalism of Air Canada employees in delivering our world class products and services and taking care of our customers.” Go to http://www.aircanada.com for more.
