**Aegean Airlines Recognized as Europe’s Best Regional Airline for 15th Consecutive Year**
Aegean Airlines has once again been honored as Europe’s Best Regional Airline, achieving this title for the 15th consecutive year at the 2026 Skytrax World Airline Awards held in London. This recognition marks the airline's 16th win in the category since its inception 27 years ago, underscoring its longstanding commitment to service excellence.
The award ceremony took place at the prestigious Langham Hotel in London, where representatives and cabin crew from Aegean Airlines were present to accept the accolade. The Skytrax awards are based solely on passenger feedback, gathered through what is described as the world’s largest airline passenger satisfaction survey. This independent evaluation is widely recognized as a benchmark for airline standards, often referred to as the "Oscars of the aviation industry."
In addition to being named Europe’s Best Regional Airline, Aegean Airlines maintained its position in the global rankings, securing fourth place for the title of World’s Best Regional Airline. This achievement highlights the airline's strong performance not only in Europe but on a global scale.
Aegean Airlines' deputy chief executive, Michalis Kouveliotis, expressed gratitude for the recognition, stating, "It is a great honour for Aegean to be recognised once again as the ‘Best Regional Airline in Europe.’ This distinction is particularly meaningful in today’s demanding and rapidly evolving environment, and is a testament to the commitment, professionalism, and dedication of our people." Kouveliotis emphasized that the award reflects the trust passengers have placed in Aegean over the years, choosing the airline for its comfort, safety, and quality of service.
Skytrax chief executive Edward Plaisted acknowledged Aegean's consistent success, noting that it demonstrates the strong appreciation passengers have for the airline's high standards. "This success for a record 16th time demonstrates Aegean Airlines’ dedication to providing an excellent quality of onboard experience and consistent service delivery," Plaisted remarked.
The recognition from Skytrax reinforces Aegean Airlines' reputation as a leading regional airline, particularly in its operations to and from Cyprus, where it has established a significant presence. The airline's commitment to maintaining high service standards involves continuous investment and innovation, ensuring that it meets the evolving expectations of its passengers.
As Aegean Airlines celebrates this latest accolade, it remains focused on enhancing the travel experience for its customers, striving to uphold the highest levels of quality in every aspect of its operations. The airline's ongoing success in the competitive aviation market is a testament to its strategic approach and dedication to passenger satisfaction.
