RANKED: The 12 best airlines in Asia

• Consumer aviation website Skytrax releases an annual list of the best airlines in the world.
• Airlines from Asia dominate that list, taking 12 of the top 20 spots.
• In fact, Asian airlines have occupied the top spot since 2007.

Every year, consumer aviation website Skytrax releases its list of the best airlines in the world. For 2017, Qatar Airways took home the top prize for the second time in three years and the fourth time in the last seven. Including airlines from the Pacific Rim, South Asia, and the Middle East, carriers from the Asian continent as a whole performed tremendously well in the Skytrax rankings, occupying 12 of the top 20 spots.

In fact, a non-Asian airline hasn't held the top spot since 2006 when British Airways was awarded Airline of the Year.

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.
