Air Transat has been awarded the title of World’s Best Leisure Airline at the 2025 Skytrax World Airline Awards, marking the seventh time it has received the honour and the third consecutive year it has won the category.
The award ceremony was held Tuesday at the Paris Air Show in France. Pamela Lloyd-Bergeron, Air Transat’s director of In-Flight Service, accepted the award alongside members of the airline's flight crew.
"Receiving this award is an honour for everyone at Air Transat,” said Lloyd-Bergeron.
“It reflects our dedication to delivering excellent service and memorable travel experiences for our passengers. Every day, our in-flight crews work passionately to create a warm atmosphere on board, where comfort, attentiveness and attention to detail make all the difference. This distinction is entirely theirs."
Annick Guérard, president and CEO of Transat, said the recognition is rooted in the airline’s customer-first approach.
“This recognition is a testament to the unwavering commitment of our teams to placing the client at the heart of every decision we make. It is thanks to their openness, their genuine care, their constant desire to go above and beyond and their pleasure in making people travel that we continue to stand out worldwide."
The World’s Best Leisure Airline award is based on passenger evaluations of product and service quality for leisure-focused carriers, both in-flight and on the ground.
Air Transat previously received the title in 2012, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2023, and 2024, and was named North America’s Best Leisure Airline in 2022.
More than 22 million entries from travellers in over 100 countries were submitted during the latest survey period, which ran from September 2024 to May 2025. The Skytrax awards are independently operated, and airlines do not pay to enter or use award logos.
