Tuesday, 26 March 2024: For the sixth consecutive year, Virgin Australia has won Best Cabin Crew in the Airline Excellence Awards for 2024, presented annually by leading aviation ratings website, AirlineRatings.com.

The Airline Excellence Awards are judged by editors with over 200 years of combined aviation experience and recognises the gold standard in the airline industry with more than 350 airlines considered against a strict criterion spanning passenger comfort, innovation, value and safety.

Virgin Australia CEO, Jayne Hrdlicka said she was thrilled to see the Virgin Australia cabin crew team recognised once again in the awards, which take into consideration airlines around the world.

“One of the joys of working for an airline is hearing the extraordinary stories right across our network of our crew going the extra mile in their service, and it is that signature flair that each individual brings that makes flying with Virgin Australia so special,” Ms Hrdlicka said.

“This award comes as no surprise as it is a true reflection of our incredible cabin crew who work hard every day to consistently deliver the service we are known and loved for, and winning this award for an incredible sixth time in a row is wonderful recognition of our team.”

The announcement comes just weeks after Virgin Australia Regional Airlines (VARA) was named Best Regional Airline for 2024 in the same awards for the very first time.

Virgin Australia holds a seven-star rating with AirlineRatings.com, which delivers expert safety ratings for airlines around the world.
