oneworld’s win in the awards, organised by Business Traveller magazine, marks the 12th time that the alliance has taken home the title. Several oneworld member airlines — American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Finnair, Japan Airlines, Qantas and Qatar Airways — also received medals in the Cellars in the Sky Awards.
