THE WORLD’S BEST AIRLINES 2017 REVEALED

The World’s Best Airlines 2017 Revealed

Skytrax, a review website for airlines and airports, has just released its annual list of World’s Best Airlines as part of the Skytrax World Airline Awards. While a couple of familiar names have taken out the top spots, there are a few new names that have edged their way into the top 10.



 1. Qatar Airways

Qatar Airways has been named the best airline in the world for 2017 by the leading consumer-aviation website Skytrax. The Gulf-based carrier was presented with the honor at Tuesday’s World Airline Awards at the 2017 Paris Air Show.



2. Singapore Airlines

Singapore Airlines, a perennial favourite in the awards was ranked No. 2 in the world, also receiving awards as the Best Airline in Asia, the World’s Best Business Class seat and for having the Best Premium Economy Onboard Catering. 


3. ANA All Nippon Airways

ANA is the largest airline in Japan by revenues and passenger numbers. Founded in 1952, ANA flies today on 83 international routes and 116 domestic routes. The ANA group has 35,000 employees and a fleet of about 250 aircraft. 



Based in Dubai, the Emirates Group employs over 65,000 staff from more than 170 nationalities. Emirates, which was 2016’s winner, landed at fourth place this year.


 5. Cathay Pacific

Cathay Pacific, which has won the award four times, landed in the fifth position this time, down one spot from last year. Also, they came in ninth place for the best cabin crew, and took the eighth spot for the best airline staff in Asia. Cathay Pacific also ranked in the top 10 for the best business and first-class seats and 13th for its premium economy product.
But the carrier was surprisingly omitted from being ranked in the economy class category. This followed an announcement by the airline on installing a 10-seat configuration in its economy-class cabins next year – a move which some passengers have criticised.

 The World’s Top 20 Airlines 2017:
  1. Qatar Airways
  2. Singapore Airlines
  3. ANA All Nippon Airways
  4. Emirates
  5. Cathay Pacific
  6. EVA Air

AIRBUS' NEW BLACK BOXES WILL EJECT FROM CRASHING PLANES, SO THEY'RE EASIER TO FIND

IT'S BEEN MORE  than three years since Malasiyan Airlines Flight 370 vanished, and after spending $150 million and scouring a huge chunk of the Indian Ocean, the international search effort has turned up just a few scraps of metal. It now seems likely investigators will never find the bulk of the wreckage nor the Boeing 777's black boxes, and as a result will never really know why it went down, or how to prevent it happening again. Airbus says it has a solution: deployable flight data recorders. On large planes that frequently fly over water or remote areas, the European aircraft manufacturer will install a second, redundant black box near the rear of the fuselage, with a mechanical ejection system. If the plane crashes into the ocean, the recorder will pop out to safety, floating and pinging away with an emergency locator transmitter, to help rescue teams find it and its valuable testimony about what went wrong. The ejection function is just one feature of Airb...
