Star Alliance: The world’s leading airline alliance awarded at 2024 World Travel Awards – Travel And Tour World

For the fifth consecutive year, Star Alliance has been awarded the prestigious title of World’s Leading Airline Alliance at the 2024 World Travel Awards.

The accolade was presented during the Grand Final Gala Ceremony, which took place on November 24, 2024, in Madeira, Portugal, gathering the global tourism elite.

The recognition solidifies Star Alliance’s position as the top global airline alliance, showcasing its commitment to providing seamless travel experiences for customers worldwide.

Earlier in 2024, Star Alliance also earned notable accolades, including the title of North America’s Leading Airport Lounge for its Los Angeles Airport Lounge.

This marked the fifth consecutive year the lounge received this distinction, underscoring Star Alliance’s leadership in airport hospitality.

Theo Panagiotoulias, CEO of Star Alliance, expressed his gratitude upon receiving the award. “We are incredibly honoured to receive the title of the World’s Leading Airline Alliance once again.

This achievement is a testament to the dedication of all Star Alliance and member airline employees who work tirelessly to deliver seamless travel experiences.

We also extend our heartfelt thanks to our loyal customers for their continued trust and support,” Panagiotoulias said.

The World Travel Awards, now in its 31st edition, aims to celebrate excellence across the travel, tourism, and hospitality industries.

Winners are selected based on a global poll of travel sector executives and consumer travel buyers. This year’s award is a testament to Star Alliance’s ongoing efforts to set new standards in the aviation industry.

Graham E. Cooke, Founder of the World Travel Awards, congratulated Star Alliance on its continued success. “A heartfelt congratulations to Star Alliance for winning ‘World’s Leading Airline Alliance 2024’.

This outstanding accomplishment highlights how the organisation is continually raising the bar in aviation alliances. Its dedication to providing customers with seamless journeys, from booking and airports to connections and loyalty, is unparalleled.

The commitment of the entire Star Alliance team is truly inspiring,” Cooke said.

In addition to the overall alliance award, several Star Alliance member airlines also triumphed in individual categories.

The airlines were recognized for their excellence in four key regions, winning the titles of World’s Leading Airline to North America, Asia, Africa, and South America.

Star Alliance’s continued success at the World Travel Awards reinforces the alliance’s commitment to enhancing travel experiences, with member airlines working collaboratively to offer unparalleled service to passengers worldwide.
