SIA ranks world’s third-best full-service airline for 2026

Separately, Scoot ranked fifth amongst low-cost carriers.

Singapore Airlines was ranked the world’s third-best full-service airline for 2026, according to AirlineRatings.com’s latest global rankings.

The carrier placed behind Qatar Airways and Cathay Pacific, which took first and second place, respectively, in the full-service category.

Separately, the airlines’ wholly owned subsidiary, Scoot, ranked fifth amongst low-cost carriers, placing behind airlines including HK Express, Jetstar, AirAsia Group, and AirBaltic.

Singapore Changi Airport was named the world’s best airport for 2026, marking its second consecutive year at the top of the rankings.

The ranking cited the airport’s passenger experience, operational performance, and connectivity.

AirlineRatings.com said its rankings are based on in-flight product and passenger experience, assessed using measurable onboard criteria rather than public voting.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
