Air New Zealand, Bangkok Airways, Eva Air, Indigo, Japan Airlines and Singapore Airlines Honored With 2019 APEX Passenger Choice Awards™ for Asia and South Pacific

SHANGHAI, March 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The final day of APEX Asia concluded with an award ceremony recognizing Asia and South Pacific airlines for their achievements in excellent passenger experience. The Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX) announced the 2019 Passenger Choice Awards™ for Asia and South Pacific in Shanghai.

The APEX Passenger Choice Awards are based on passenger feedback gathered through APEX's partnership with TripIt® from Concur®, the world's highest-rated travel-organizing app. Using a five-star scale, more than one million flights were rated by passengers across nearly 500 airlines from around the world between 1 July 2017 and 31 June 2018. First, passengers rated their overall flight experience from one to five stars. On the same screen, passengers were given the opportunity to provide anonymous ratings in five subcategories: seat comfort, cabin service, food and beverage, entertainment, and Wi-Fi. The single screen rating allows airline passengers to easily rate their flight in less than 15 seconds.

The Passenger Choice Awards were independently certified by a professional external auditing company hired by APEX.

"Today in China, APEX highlighted some of the best examples in the world of airline passenger experience," said APEX/IFSA CEO Dr. Joe Leader. "Our annual APEX Asia Pacific awards highlight exactly where extraordinary service is occurring and helps accelerate future airline advancements for the next cycle of innovation."
