The airline that flies to more countries than any other is flying to new records after the most significant crisis of aviation history and distinguishing itself from its competitors with a strong performance throughout the year.
World Airline Awards held in the historic Langham Hotel in London on September 23, 2022, saw several accolades being presented to the successful flag carrier aside from the Best Airline in Europe award.

During the evaluation of the airlines to determine the winner of the awards, an online customer survey was conducted from September 2021 to August 2022, together with invitations sent to the previous year's respondents in the survey database. The customer survey was provided in English, French, Spanish, Russian, Japanese and Chinese. Over 100 customer nationalities participated in the 2021/2022 survey with 14.32 million eligible entries counted in the results.
