American Airlines has been voted the ‘Best International Airline 2007’ thanks to readers of online travel portal, Travel Weekly.
The airline scooped the accolade after being chosen from a list of five finalists, which included British Airways, Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines and Virgin Atlantic, at a recent Travel Weekly awards ceremony.
The world’s largest airline received roughly 5,000 votes from Travel Weekly readers, which included travel agents, marketing executives and holidaymakers.
Kurt Stache, vice president and general sales manager of the US division of American Airlines, commented: "We appreciate the travel agency community and all the other Travel Weekly readers who recognised (our) achievements in international flying."
"These travel experts clearly recognise the great experience that American Airlines now offers the international traveller, including our new Business Class Cabins aboard our 767s, our great food and award-winning wine selections, and the expansion of our Flagship Suites in First Class on all of our Boeing 777s."
He added that the international travellers with the airline are now offered a new $1.3 billion (£6.4 billion) terminal at New York’s JFK International Airport along with improved facilities at its Miami and Dallas hubs.
American Airlines operates over 4,000 daily flights, flying passengers to 250 cities across more than 40 countries.
