The world’s worst airlines revealed as budget carrier takes infamous title

Published

on

In a recent survey conducted by UK consumer advocate Which?, the world’s worst airlines have been exposed, with a budget airline clinching the dubious honour.

For the second consecutive year, a European carrier has earned the title of the worst airline globally, as voted by passengers. Wizz Air, a Hungarian-based budget airline, has garnered the unfortunate distinction, according to the survey encompassing feedback from over 10,000 flights predominantly used by British travelers.

British Airways, a prominent name in the aviation industry, surprisingly found itself among the ‘worst’ for both long and short-haul travel, securing the 14th and 15th positions, respectively, out of 17 carriers.

Customer service

The survey, which gauged travelers’ experiences over the past year, evaluated airlines based on criteria such as customer service, value for money, seat comfort, and food and drink quality.

Wizz Air faced severe criticism for its dismal performance in various aspects, including delays and subpar customer service.

One passenger lamented the airline’s communication difficulties when seeking assistance, dubbing it “impossible” to reach.


Scoring merely one out of five stars for customer service and no more than two stars in any other category, Wizz Air was denoted as the lowest-scoring airline.

The report highlighted dissatisfaction among customers, with 44% reporting encountering some form of problem during their Wizz Air flights.

Budget carrier

In stark contrast, Jet2.com, a UK budget carrier, claimed the top spot in the ‘best short-haul economy airlines’ category, followed closely by Icelandair, Norwegian, Turkish Airlines, and Longanair.

Surprisingly, Qantas was the sole Australian carrier to make it to the list, securing the fifth position in the ‘best long-haul economy airlines’ category.

Despite receiving commendable ratings in various categories such as customer service, seat comfort, and value for money, Qantas lagged in punctuality, with only 43% of its flights recorded as on time.

The best

Singapore Airlines emerged as the leader in the ‘best long-haul economy airlines’ category, closely trailed by Emirates, Virgin Atlantic, and Qatar Airways.

Notably, Emirates garnered praise for its punctuality, with three-quarters of its flights arriving within 15 minutes of the scheduled time.

Meanwhile, British Airways faced criticism across the board, ranking low in each category.

Experts suggest that British Airways’ struggle to maintain standards while competing with low-cost carriers has led to a decline in customer satisfaction.

With these revelations, the aviation industry faces scrutiny over service quality, punctuality, and overall customer experience, underscoring the importance of continual improvement to meet travelers’ expectations.

Trump confirms U.S. strike on Iran’s nuclear sites amid rising tensions; Israel intensifies operations, Iran vows to continue enrichment, and Houthi militants threaten U.S. shipping.


President Trump has confirmed that U.S. forces successfully struck three nuclear facilities in Iran – Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan – with all aircraft safely exiting Iranian airspace. The mission, involving B-2 stealth bombers, comes amid rising tensions over Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

Meanwhile, Israel has intensified its military operations, killing three top Iranian military leaders and striking a major nuclear facility in Isfahan. The Israeli chief of staff warned the operation may lead to a prolonged and complex war.

Iran responded by vowing to continue uranium enrichment and said talks with the U.S. are off the table unless Israel halts its attacks. In a parallel move, Houthi militants threatened U.S. and commercial ships in the Red Sea if American strikes continue in support of Israel.

Adding to the volatility, an Iranian drone hit northern Israel, with the IDF confirming the incident—though no casualties were reported. The U.S. State Department is now organising flights to evacuate Americans from Israel.

Trump announces successful U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites, while Israel intensifies its military campaign against Iranian leadership.

In Short:
President Trump announced U.S. strikes on three nuclear sites in Iran, confirming all aircraft left Iranian airspace after the operation. Meanwhile, Israel ramped up its military actions against Iran, leading to warnings from Iranian officials and Houthi militants regarding potential escalations.

President Trump announced on Saturday that the United States had successfully completed strikes on three nuclear sites in Iran: Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan.

In a social media post, he confirmed all U.S. aircraft had exited Iranian airspace following the operation.

This military action was preceded by the deployment of stealth B-2 bombers from Missouri, capable of carrying the GBU-57 bunker buster, a powerful weapon considered effective against the Fordow uranium-enrichment facility.

Trump had earlier indicated to senior aides that he approved attack plans for Iran, awaiting Tehran’s decision on its nuclear program.

Meanwhile, Israel’s military intensified its operations against Iranian military leaders and nuclear sites, announcing the elimination of three senior Iranian figures and strikes on the Isfahan facility. Israel’s military chief warned of a potentially prolonged conflict, describing it as the nation’s most complex military undertaking.

In response, Iranian officials stated their refusal to halt uranium enrichment and indicated that negotiations with the U.S. would only occur if Israel ceased its attacks.

Additionally, the U.S. State Department announced the initiation of flights to facilitate the return of American citizens from Israel.

Houthi militants also issued a warning to target U.S. and commercial vessels in the Red Sea should American attacks in support of Israel commence.

Amidst this, an Iranian drone attack recently damaged a building in northern Israel, marking an acknowledged drone strike by the Israeli military during the ongoing conflict. No casualties were reported from the incident.
