However, Singapore Changi Airport was presented “Best Airport In The World” award.

Among other airlines to win awards include Etihad Airways and Emirates Airlines. It was a double win for Etihad Airways as it won “Airline With The Best First Class” and “Airline With The Best Frequent Flyer Programme” awards. Moreover, it was a hat trick for Emirates Airlines as it succeeded in winning three coveted awards. The airline was presented “Best Airline Worldwide”, “Airline With The Best Economy Class” and “Airline With The Best Cabin Staff”. The three coveted awards also helped Emirates Airlines to continue to remain at the top in the commercial civil aviation industry.

The awards were presented in several other categories. According to reports, the top three countries in terms of destinations in 2015 were India, UK and Saudi Arabia to be served to/from Dubai International Airport.
