Skytrax flunks ITA Airways, Italian airline out of top 100. Lufthansa group also bad

If last year's 98th position could be justified. from the risky network and startup model restart, absence from the list of the world's top 100 airlines in 2023 is definitely a severe punishment, perhaps too much so, for ITA Airways.

Here are the world's best cabins according to Skytrax: Singapore's First and Qatar's Qsuite ahead of the pack

Scrolling down the list of who is ranked ahead of ITA Airways is obviously the elite of the aviation market, but also many companies that are arguably worse off than the Italian national airline. The changes since 2022 have not only affected the top, with Singapore snatching the top from Qatar, but also the rear.

The reopening of the borders of China and Japan have revived the fortunes of ANA, JAL and Cathay and other companies in the area. The war in Ukraine led to the demise of Aeroflot.

ITA out of the top 100

Without looking into other people's houses though it is the ITA figure that is surprising and not a little, especially after a year of strong growth, of Putting new aircraft such as the A350 into the fleet. Who flew all summer long And of the new A220s, the world's best on short-haul. It also fails to drive the exploit of Fiumicino, the Italian airline's hub for the first time Skytrax 5-star rating in 2022.

Of course in 2021 Alitalia was out of this ranking., while in the last pre-pandemic year the old Italian company had finished 72nd. In the top 100 positions in the ranking are low-cost, regional airlines, and small carriers, and this is the most worrying fact.

LH group loses positions

Lufthansa and its subsidiaries do not behave very well excluding Swiss, which confirms that it is the best in the group. The Swiss compania had jumped up to 10th place in 2022, and this year it ranks 12th, two lower than last year. The reason, as mentioned, is the return to traffic of Cathay (8th) and Eva Air (9th).

Lufthansa finishes outside the top 20, losing 6 positions from the previous ranking and closes in 21st place .

Austrian's position stable which loses two positions, falling to 34th place, but consoles itself with three individual awards: milgiest staff in Europe, best cabin crew in Europe, and best airport services in Europe. On the staff, I can only agree after having Traveled the long haul this winter.

Air Dolomiti loses one position and closes 97th, but the worst performer is Brussels. The Belgian company plummets 25 places and closes at 100th and last place in the ranking.

In conclusion

I'm really sorry to see no ITA improvement in this ranking, not seeing it in the top 100 at all must have been a surprise itself for the company. Of course some polls might give a different picture, but the strength of Skytrax is to be independent and above all to evaluate for years, each company with the same yardstick.
