Qatar Airways Tops World Airline Awards 2024

Allegiant Air's unique business model focuses on connecting underserved markets with popular vacation destinations via short-haul flights, enhancing regional tourism and providing convenience through smaller airports. Despite ending its crew base at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport due to the South Terminal closure, Allegiant will maintain operations using nearby bases. Allegiant's strategy and service quality have earned it the title of best budget airline in North America by Skytrax. Meanwhile, Qatar Airways has been named the best airline globally for 2024 by the World Airline Awards, continuing its streak of top rankings. Qatar Airways is considering acquiring a 20% stake in Virgin Australia to enhance competition and potentially lower international fares.
