FRANKFURT and SINGAPORE - December 16, 2021 - Star Alliance has again been named the World's Leading Airline Alliance in the annual World Travel Awards.
The annual awards cover multiple categories and are awarded based on a worldwide poll of qualified executives working within travel and tourism, and the consumer travel buyer.

"We are grateful for the continued recognition from travel and tourism executives and from the World Travel Awards organisation," said Jeffrey Goh, Chief Executive Officer of Star Alliance, adding "I accept this award on behalf of the hundreds of thousands of dedicated employees of the 26 member airlines of the Alliance, who work tirelessly to provide an unparalleled customer travel experience." Continued Mr. Goh, "Our unrelenting focus on improving the customer journey is evident by the continued recognition of the Alliance and of its member airlines. All of us are working flat-out, along with other industry experts and partners, to reconnect the world and fully restore global travel."
