RANKED: The 10 best European Airlines

• Consumer aviation website Skytrax releases an annual ranking of the best airlines in the world.
• For 2017, five European carriers made it into the top 20.

Every year, consumer aviation website Skytrax releases its list of the best airlines in the world. Even though airlines from Asia traditionally dominate the Skytrax rankings, European carriers have managed to hold their own amid some tough competition.

In fact, the last non-Asian airline to take home Skytrax's Airline of the Year award was British Airways in 2006.

This year, five European airlines managed to make it into the top 20 with two in the top 10.

The Skytrax rankings are based on the impressions of 19.87 million travelers from 105 different countries. The survey, which covered more than 325 airlines, measured 49 parameters ranging from boarding procedures to seat comfort to the quality of service.

Here's a closer look at the 10 best airlines in Europe.
