Ethiopian Airlines has been named Best African Airline by Business Traveller Awards 2020. Winners of the award, unveiled by the publishers of Panacea Media's Business Traveller magazine, are voted for by readers of the magazine.
Qatar Airways took a bulk of the prize amassing five awards: Best Airline, Best Long-Haul Carrier, Best Business Class and Best Middle Eastern Airline. British Airways took the awards for Best Short-Haul Carrier, Best Frequent Flyer Programme, Best Airport Lounge, for its Concorde Room at London Heathrow T5, Best New Seat (for the Club Suite, pictured below) and also won Best Travel App. Oneworld was named Best Airline Alliance, while Star Alliance, of which Ethiopian Airlines is a member, stood second.
Singapore’s Changi Airport won the Best Airport Worldwide award, while Amsterdam Schiphol took the Europe prize, and London Heathrow was named Best Airport for Tax-Free Shopping.
This year’s Business Traveller awards were based on the survey which took place from April to July 2020 concerning readers’ experiences of the previous 12 months, and before the widespread restrictions on business travel that were imposed by most countries in mid-March.
