Asiana Airlines said Wednesday that it has been certified by Skytrax, a leading review site for airlines, as a 5-Star Airline for the quality of its airport and onboard product and staff service.

The airline has been winning the highest rating for 16 consecutive years since 2007.

Since the outbreak of the pandemic, the airline has enhanced its hygiene and customer travel safety standards through its Asiana Airlines Care+ program.

The program includes handing out masks, hand sanitizers, and wet wipes to passengers. It also includes increasing non-contact services such as self-check-ins, and seat distancing.

“Asiana will continue our journey to provide as safe and pleasant a travel environment as possible for our valued customers,“ said Jung Sung-kwon, Asiana Airlines Chief Executive Officer.
