The annual World Airline Awards, established by Skytrax in 1999, is internationally recognized as the "Oscars" of the aviation industry to recognize the best-performing airlines. The winners are chosen through an extensive "World Airline Survey" of more than 20 million travelers, encompassing over 100 nationalities and 335 airlines to make up the largest passenger satisfaction survey in the world.  

In 2018, Philippine Airlines garnered the first-ever "4-Star Global Airline" rating from Skytrax for a Philippine carrier, along with the "2nd Most Improved Airline" and "Top 30 cleanest cabin" awards from Skytrax. These accolades were the results of the flag carrier's comprehensive top to bottom enhancements of aircraft, product and overall services across key performance areas.
