AirAsia

This year, ATW has created the new Value Airline of the Year award to recognize outstanding achievements by those carriers whose business strategy provides exceptional value for the customer and the shareholder.

The story of our inaugural winner of this award reads like the script of a Hollywood “feel good” movie. From humble beginnings 10 years ago, with just two aircraft and six routes, this carrier has grown to dominate Southeast Asia and has brought affordable travel to over 100 million people.

All Nippon Airways
For our 2012 Airline Technology Leadership award winner, the phrase “to fly the dream” is more than a mere expression.

As launch customer for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, ANA worked the dream, providing valuable input into the aircraft’s game-changing design and working closely with the manufacturer through development and flight testing.

Etihad Airways
Any airline that builds a world-renown brand in a few short years is worthy of recognition. An airline that builds such a brand in a challenging and highly competitive environment where it must contend with larger and better-known neighbors deserves special recognition. Despite its young age, Etihad Airways has emerged as the personification of what it means to put the customer first.

Alaska Airlines

The ATW Joseph S. Murphy Industry Service award is bestowed on those who have demonstrated exceptional service in the airline industry while also bringing credit to the industry as a whole through outstanding public service.

Alaska Airlines has continued to lead a number of technological developments that help advance the entire industry while also making outstanding commitments to worthy causes such as the Make-a-Wish Foundation, Angel Flight West and the Special Olympics.
