Tuesday, August 13, 2024 oneworld® has consistently secured the title of ‘Favourite Airline Alliance’ at The Trazees, celebrating its third consecutive and seventh overall victory. This distinction, determined by votes from Trazee Travel’s readers—predominantly travelers aged 25 to 40—highlights the alliance’s influential role in setting industry trends and its appeal to the millennial demographic. The award was presented during a ceremony at Nashville’s Joseph Hotel, with oneworld’s Director of Corporate Sales & Events, Chris Quiriconi, accepting on behalf of the alliance.
In addition to the main award, oneworld members achieved notable recognition. Alaska Airlines was awarded ‘Favourite Airline Website,’ and Royal Air Maroc received the ‘Best Airline in Africa’ accolade, demonstrating the alliance’s ongoing commitment to digital innovation and enhancing passenger experiences. Chris Quiriconi, oneworld Director of Corporate Sales & Events, said: “As we raise a glass to 25 years of the oneworld alliance, we are honoured to have received two top travel industry awards.
“To be named ‘Favourite Airline Alliance’ is a testament to our members and the excellent customer service and connectivity they offer around the world each day.
