Airlines were mostly affected by the coronavirus pandemic which at different times imposed half-filled and half-empty planes, then concealed flights, during the most difficult restrictions and covid protocols, and imposition of Covid-19 tests and masking mandate.

However, millions of travelers across the world in a ranking survey by Skytrax’s global airline which ended on Tuesday selected Qatar Airways as the Best Airline in the world.
