Air Transat Wins Seventh Skytrax Title as World’s Best Leisure Airline

Air Transat accepts the award as World’s Best Leisure Airline.

Air Transat has been named the World’s Best Leisure Airline at the 2025 Skytrax World Airline Awards for the third consecutive year and the seventh time overall. 

The awards ceremony took place at the Paris Air Show in France. Pamela Lloyd-Bergeron, Air Transat’s Director, In-Flight Service, accepted the award along with members of the airline’s flight crew.

“Receiving this award is an honour for everyone at Air Transat,” said Lloyd-Bergeron. “It reflects our dedication to delivering excellent service and memorable travel experiences for our passengers. Every day, our in-flight crews work passionately to create a warm atmosphere on board, where comfort, attentiveness and attention to detail make all the difference. This distinction is entirely theirs.”

Transat has been named World’s Best Leisure Airline once again.

Annick Guérard, President and CEO of Transat, added: “This recognition is a testament to the unwavering commitment of our teams to placing the client at the heart of every decision we make. It is thanks to their openness, their genuine care, their constant desire to go above and beyond and their pleasure in making people travel that we continue to stand out worldwide.”

The World’s Best Leisure Airline Award is based on passenger satisfaction with the quality of products and services offered by leisure airlines, including both onboard and at the airports. Air Transat has previously won this award in 2012, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2023, and 2024, and was recognized as North America’s Best Leisure Airline in 2022. 

“Air Transat has established itself as a leader in the leisure travel segment,” commented Edward Plaisted, Chief Executive Officer of Skytrax. “Its consistent recognition in this category reflects high levels of passenger satisfaction and the airline’s ability to deliver a reliable and enjoyable experience tailored to leisure travellers.”
