Here's how Canadian airlines rank among the world's best for 2025
Four Canadian airlines have earned spots among the top 100 in the world — and while only one edged its way into the top 20, some of the nation's air carriers earned definite bragging rights in other categories. The Skytrax 2025 World Airline Awards, released Tuesday, are based on the customer satisfaction surveys of about 22 million global travellers, with more than 100 customer nationalities represented and over 325 airlines included in the results. Topping Canada's contingent in the top 100 list was Air Canada, which took 19th overall, a significant improvement over the air carrier's performance in the 2024 awards, when it took the 29th spot.
