South African Airways has won the award for ‘Best Airline’ at the annual SATOA Travel Awards, held at the Zimbabwe Embassy.
The national carrier for South Africa beat four other shortlisted airlines (Virgin Atlantic, British Airways, Kenya Airways and Emirates Airlines) and 12 airlines in total to scoop the top prize. The Awards, which are presented to partners who promote travel to Africa and the Indian Ocean were voted for by members of the travel industry and judged on the product offering and service each airline provides.
South African Airways currently offers direct daily flights between London Heathrow and Johannesburg and serves 26 destinations within Africa on a fleet of Airbus A330 and A340s.
This award joins two others which South African Airways have already won this year. These are Skytrax’s ‘Leading Airline in Africa’ Award, which the airline recently won for the tenth year running, and Skytrax’s ‘Best Customer Service in Africa’ Award.
Gary Kershaw, UK & Ireland Country Manager for South African Airways said, ‘It is a privilege for South African Airways to win this award. Our mission is to offer our customers the smoothest of travel experiences to Southern Africa and beyond. Our world-class product offering combined with warm hospitality ensures that our customers’ African experience starts from the moment they step on board. Thank you to everyone who voted for us.’
