Dragonair voted Best Airline - China

Dragonair has been voted Best Airline - China for the third consecutive year in the Skytrax passenger survey.

Conducted by Skytrax Research of the UK, the world's "largest" passenger survey was undertaken over the 10 months from June 2003 to March 2004, with the number of eligible nominations for Airline of the Year totalling 10.8 million.

"To be voted Best Airline - China for a third consecutive year in the Skytrax survey is a huge compliment by the travelling public to all the staff at Dragonair," said Chief Executive Officer Stanley Hui. "The results reaffirm that Dragonair remains the airline of choice to the China Mainland.

He continued: "In the best traditions of Hong Kong, we are dedicated to bringing the best possible travel experience to our customers, and recognition of our efforts in this survey will encourage us to aim for even greater heights of satisfaction in future."

Mr. Hui also congratulated Hong Kong International Airport, which was named Airport of the Year for the fourth year in a row following voting by 4.8 million travellers.

"Dragonair's service in the air and Hong Kong International Airport's facilities and service on the ground make an unbeatable combination as the aviation gateway to China, and we are committed to maintaining that position," he said.

The independent Skytrax survey asks travellers to name Best in Category airlines "from a qualitative aspect - encompassing the quality of front-line product and service in both airport and onboard areas".
