Azul Named World's Best Airline by Tripadvisor Travelers' Choice Awards

When flying is back on your radar, Azul Brazilian Airlines may be the airline of choice, at least according to Tripadvisor travelers, who awarded the relative newcomer the Top Airline in the World.

Rankings are based on feedback from millions of passengers during their travels in 2019. Azul has placed in the awards' top 10 airlines in the world for the last four years, rising as high as #3 in 2017, but this is the first time the airline has been named world's best.

"When we founded Azul in 2008, we had a simple vision to be the best airline in the world," said John Rodgerson, CEO of Azul. "Today, more than 11 years later we have confirmation of that vision. This is an incredibly positive message for our 11,000 colleagues that show dedication and passion in taking care of our customers every single day and every single flight. While we recognize the challenges faced by our society and our industry at this very moment, this recognition gives us all the motivation and energy we need to ensure we exit this crisis stronger than ever and ready to grow again."

"Winners of the 2020 Travelers' Choice Awards should be proud of this distinguished recognition," said Kanika Soni, Chief Commercial Officer at Tripadvisor. "Although it's been a challenging year for travel and hospitality, we want to celebrate our partners' achievements. Award winners are beloved for their exceptional service and quality.
