This marks the third consecutive year the airline has placed among the top three in multiple categories, reaffirming its reputation for exceptional service, premium comfort, and culinary excellence.
Korean Air’s culinary program, refreshed in March 2025, celebrates Korean and global cuisine through modern interpretations of traditional dishes made with locally sourced ingredients. Signature offerings, such as octopus rice, beef brisket bibimbap, and steamed abalone with rice, are served on newly designed tableware and paired with a curated wine list developed with world-renowned sommelier Marc Almert.
In addition to recognition from USA Today readers, Korean Air continues to earn global accolades: Best Cabin Service at the APEX Best Awards 2026, Airline of the Year 2025 by AirlineRatings.com, a SKYTRAX 5-star Airline rating for the fifth consecutive year, and Asia Airline of the Year by CAPA. These honors reflect the airline’s ongoing commitment to exceptional service, operational excellence, and customer satisfaction across its global network.
