Qatar Airways leads the aviation industry in COVID-19 hygiene safety and service quality, having received four 5-star awards from Skytrax, the international air transport rating organization.
The Hamad International Airport (HIA) has been named the 2021 Airport of the Year. Qatar Airways is the only airline in the world to have a 5-Star rating from Skytrax in all four categories: Best Airline, Airline COVID-19 Safety Rating, Best Airport, and Airport COVID-19 Safety Rating.
In December 2020, Skytrax conducted a comprehensive audit to assess the airline’s COVID-19 hygiene and safety criteria from flight check-in to boarding the aircraft. At all stages of the passenger trip, this includes a detailed evaluation of procedural efficiency checks, as well as visual inspections of cleanliness and safety levels. To measure the degree of contamination of contact surfaces, onboard Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) sample tests were taken.
Qatar Airways’ Vice President of Sales for South East Asia and the South Asian Subcontinent, Jared Lee, told the media that the firm is honored to have obtained recurrent Skytrax 5-Star ratings for both Qatar Airways and Hamad International Airport.
Since the original outbreak of COVID-19, they have taken extreme care to keep our passengers and employees safe, and these medals are a testament to their efforts. Operating during the epidemic has given Qatar Airways the expertise and experience needed to implement the most appropriate onboard hygiene standards using cutting-edge technology. He went on to say that they strive to be the best in every category and that, depending on the situation, they will continue to provide exceptional service.
Qatar Airways claims that their planes have a sophisticated air filtration system with industrial-size HEPA filters that remove 99.97% of viral and bacterial contaminants from recirculated air, providing the most effective infection prevention. In September 2020, Qatar Airways will be the first airline to deploy cutting-edge technology to introduce the Honeywell Ultraviolet Cabin System for optimal in-flight sanitization.
In March 2021, Qatar Airways became the first Middle Eastern carrier to test the IATA Travel Pass Digital Passport mobile app. In early April 2021, it organized the world’s first fully vaccinated flight, with the airline’s ground crew, operating crew, and passengers all obtaining full vaccines.
