In a further testament to its elevated service offering, the Star Alliance Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport Lounge retained its title as the World’s Best Airline Alliance Lounge, celebrating a second straight win since its debut in October 2023.

The accolades were announced on June 17 at the Paris Air Show, held at the historic Le Bourget Airport. Commenting on the recognition, Star Alliance Chief Executive Officer Theo Panagiotoulias said:

“This continued recognition is incredibly significant to all of us at Star Alliance. It reflects the trust millions of customers place in our member airlines, connected by a rhythm, to create smoother journeys every day.”

He also praised the collective efforts of the alliance’s workforce:

“This achievement reflects the shared commitment to excellence shown by every employee at Star Alliance and across our member airlines throughout a promising 2024. I proudly accept this honour on their behalf and encourage them to keep aiming higher in the year ahead and beyond.”

Alongside the two alliance awards, 14 member airlines earned a combined total of 62 top honours in individual categories—reinforcing Star Alliance’s broad excellence across the industry.

Edward Plaisted, CEO of Skytrax, underscored the significance of the achievement:

“We are pleased to recognise Star Alliance as the World’s Best Airline Alliance, and for having the Best Airline Alliance Lounge at Paris Charles de Gaulle. These awards speak to the alliance’s continued efforts to create a joined-up experience that appeals to today’s international passenger, both in the air and on the ground.”

Known as the Oscars of the aviation industry, the Skytrax World Airline Awards are based on over 22 million eligible customer survey entries collected worldwide between September 2024 and May 2025.
