Airline ranking company Skytrax released its 2023 list of the 20 best airlines in the world.
Singapore Airlines came in first, taking the win over 2022's winner Qatar Airways.

Singapore Airlines has been voted 2023's best airline, taking the prestigious title over the previous seven-time winner Qatar Airways.

Airline ranking company Skytrax releases what it calls an "independent and impartial" annual list of the top 100 airlines around the world based on data from an online traveler satisfaction survey. It's an aviation Super Bowl. And this year — as is usually the case — the US was a big letdown: only one US carrier made the top 20 list.

Here's what travelers believe are the 20 best airlines according to Skytrax's list.
