There is a lot of competition among airlines to be the best. The website AirlineRatings.com has announced which company is at the top of its list. The site provides "detailed ratings, reviews and information on airlines around the globe". It puts together its annual World's Best Airlines Awards. This year's winner is Korean Air. The website wrote: "Korean Air won the Airline of the Year 2025 for its exceptional focus on passenger comfort, particularly in economy class." The site added: "Korean Air's thoughtful touches, such as slippers and generous meal portions on long-haul flights, enhanced its appeal." The reviewers praised the airline for its "investments in modern, fuel-efficient aircraft".

There were also winners in other award categories. Qatar Airways won again for having the best business class. The airline was also voted second in the best airline category. Qatar Airways has a cabin layout with "fully enclosed private suites with sliding doors, offering passengers complete privacy". The best first-class award went to Singapore Airlines. The reviewers said the airline has "redefined luxury". In addition, Changi Airport in Singapore won the world's best airport award. The top low-cost airline for 2025 was AirAsia. In this category, the reviewers looked at services such as meals, drinks and snacks, Wi-Fi, and in-flight entertainment. Airlines must also meet "rigorous safety standards".
