Turkey’s company Turkish Airlines has been named Europe’s Best Airline of 2024 at the annual awards presented by the independent UK airline auditors Skytrax, based on the opinions of millions of passengers around the world. Turkish Airlines also received two other awards: “Best Airline in Southern Europe“, and “World’s Best Business Class Catering“.
In statements reported by Turkish media, Bilal Ekşi, the airline’s CEO, stressed that these awards are proof of the hard work and dedication of the professionals who work at the airline, and emphasised the importance of Turkish Airlines receiving these prestigious Skytrax awards.
