oneworld® has once again been named the ‘Best Airline Alliance’ by the esteemed corporate travel magazine, Business Traveller, as it commemorates its 25th anniversary. This recognition marks the twelfth consecutive year that oneworld has claimed this prestigious title, underscoring its commitment to delivering a superior and seamless travel experience to its customers.

The award highlights the value that travelers place on the exceptional services provided by oneworld’s member airlines. This year, the alliance introduced its first-ever branded lounges at Amsterdam’s Schiphol and Seoul’s Incheon airports, further enhancing the passenger experience.

The awards ceremony, hosted by news and business TV presenter Ben Thompson at The Steel Yard in London, featured Paul Noon, oneworld’s Director of Business Transformation, accepting the award on behalf of the alliance.

For over 30 years, the Business Traveller awards have been a staple in the business travel and hospitality industry. The winners are chosen by the magazine’s readers, with the results verified by an independent auditing firm, making these awards a trusted benchmark for excellence.

During the event, oneworld member airlines were celebrated for their outstanding achievements, with two members together taking home a total of seven awards. Qatar Airways led the charge, winning four accolades, including ‘Best Long-Haul Airline,’ ‘Best Business Class,’ ‘Best Middle Eastern Airline,’ and ‘Best Inflight Food and Beverage.’ Travelers praised the airline for its premium offerings, both in the air and on the ground.

Meanwhile, British Airways, a founding member of oneworld, enjoyed its own success with three awards, recognized as ‘Best Short-Haul Carrier’ and ‘Best Frequent Flyer Programme.’ Its iconic First Class lounge, The Concorde Room at Heathrow Terminal 5, also garnered the title of ‘Best Airport Lounge.’

As oneworld continues to celebrate its anniversary, this latest accolade reinforces its status as a leader in the airline industry, dedicated to providing remarkable travel experiences for customers around the globe.

Nat Pieper, oneworld CEO, said: “We are honoured to be named as the Best Airline Alliance for the 12th year running by the readers of Business Traveller.
 
“The past 12 months have been extremely exciting for us here at oneworld, as we celebrated our 25th anniversary and opened our first-ever branded lounges.
 
“I would like to thank our loyal customers across the globe who have flown with our member airlines, celebrated with us, and visited our lounges. You have been a key part of our journey over the past 25 years and your support has made us the premium alliance we are today.”

This year’s Business Traveller awards also recognized oneworld member airlines American Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Japan Airlines, and Royal Air Maroc as finalists, highlighting their outstanding onboard products, dedicated staff, and exceptional inflight entertainment.
