Opting for an airline with a solid reputation can make your travel plans run that little bit smoother, and Stytrax’s five-star Airline Rating is a pretty good indicator that you’ll be flying in safe hands.
Described as a ‘unique mark of Quality Achievement’, airlines in this list are awarded based on the quality of their airline product and front-line service standards. It’s been going since back in 1999 – but let’s dive into the list for 2026.
In no particular order, two Japanese airlines made the 10-strong ranking: ANA All Nippon Airways, and Japan Airlines. Two from South Korea (Asiana Airlines and Korean Air) have ranked too, as have two Taiwanese operators (EVA Air and STARLUX Airlines).
In fact, the only non-Asia based airline to make the list is Qatar Airways – all other entries are headquartered in the continent. Scroll on for a look at the very best.
