NUR-SULTAN – TripAdvisor, a global travel website, has recognised Air Astana as the winner of the Travelers’ Choice Awards 2019 for Regional Asian Carrier for the second year in a row. The airline was also named best in the new Passenger Comfort category.
“Our airline demonstrates a constant commitment to the highest standards of service, and it is very gratifying that Air Astana has been declared the best again,” Air Astana President Peter Foster said.
“I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who left their opinion about the trip on TripAdvisor, and hope for your continued support,” he added.
Passengers said they like the airline’s on-board service, cabin cleanliness, food and drinks, comfortable seats, value for money, registration and entertainment system and the amount of space between the seats, which allowed the company to win a new category called Passenger Comfort. The best carriers were determined by an algorithm that considers the quantity and quality of reviews and ratings left by passengers during 2018.
The Travellers ’ Choice Awards is awarded to the best airlines in seven regions, including Asia, Europe, North America, Latin America, the South Pacific and Oceania, and the Middle East. The award also marks airlines in four classes of service: international first class, business class, premium economy class and economy class. Award winners’ criteria are exceptional service, quality and value for money.
