The latest result derives from a poll of 3769 Australians aged 14 and over, who have used an international airline.

Commenting on the findings, Roy Morgan chief executive Michele Levine says Singapore Airlines is on track to win its first Annual Roy Morgan International Airline Customer Satisfaction Award since 2015 after notching up another victory in July:

“Singapore Airlines has won the latest international airline customer satisfaction award with a customer satisfaction rating of 88% in July ahead of both Cathay Pacific and Emirates on 84%,” she said.

“So far in 2018 only Singapore Airlines and Cathay Pacific have managed to win a monthly award and the winner of the annual award is likely to come from one of these two leading Asia-Pacific based airlines with Singapore Airlines a clear favourite.

“Last year’s annual winner Air New Zealand lost the most ground of the leading airlines over the last year, down 9% to 82% but still managed equal fourth just ahead of the two leading Australian-based airlines Qantas (80%) and Virgin Australia (78%).

“Qantas performed better on the domestic airlines front managing to win the monthly domestic airline customer satisfaction award for July with a customer satisfaction rating of 84%.
