Finnair receives Five-Star Global Airline rating from APEX based on customer reviews
(Warsaw 25.9.2018) Finnair has been awarded a 2019 Five Star Global Airline rating by the Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX). The airline ratings are based entirely on verified feedback given by passengers. This is the first time Finnair received a five-star rating from the APEX.
Finnair was one of the 470 airlines worldwide rated by passengers through 31 July of this year and of which only 9% received sufficient votes for the prestigious five-star status in 2019. Airline travelers were validated against confirmed itineraries and geo-location on mobile devices.
Among the many development activities during this year, Finnair has renewed its business class service concept, introduced new signature menu collaborations with top chefs and renewed its meal service for long-haul economy class. Finnair is currently rolling out the best-in-market internet connectivity to its European Airbus fleet, and its mobile application has been downloaded over a million times.
