June 20, 2019: Lufthansa won the Best Airline in Europe and Best Western European Airline awards for the third straight year. SWISS and Austrian Airlines also won one award each at a Skytrax ceremony held during the recently concluded Paris Air Show in Le Bourget aviation and aerospace exhibition.

Austrian received the award for its catering in the Premium Economy Class – Best Premium Economy Class Onboard Catering and SWISS in the category The Worlds Best First Class Lounge for the outstanding SWISS Lounge in Zurich. Skytrax, the market research institute specialising in aviation, had previously surveyed some 20 million passengers from over 160 countries worldwide.

“To be given four awards by our customers is both an honour and an incentive. In particular, our colleagues in the cabin, cockpit and on the ground can be very proud of this. They are the ones who keep our premium promise day after day," says Harry Hohmeister, member of the executive board and chief commercial officer network airlines of Lufthansa Group AG.
