MONTREAL — It’s official – ********** is North America’s only four-star, full-service international carrier.

The rating was affirmed by Skytrax, the international air transport rating organization, and is based on the assessment of more than 1,000 aspects of the **********’s airport and onboard products and services.

As part of the four-star re-certification, the ******* was also awarded high marks for the recently introduced ********** Signature Class service on select North American trans-continental markets, the new Business Class seat offered on the Boeing 737MAX aircraft, the entertainment system on its Boeing fleet, as well as the service concept offered in Premium Economy Class.

“We are delighted that Skytrax has reaffirmed **********’s Four Star rating and we are proud to be the only international network carrier in North America to hold this coveted distinction,” said Lucie Guillemette, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer at **********. “These results validate our strategy to invest in our onboard and airport products, services and people.”

Guillemette also added that the ******* is “thrilled” that Skytrax concluded its new ********** signature Suite at Toronto Pearson “can now be considered among the best, if not the best in the ***** for Business Class pre-flight dining.”

In July, for the seventh time in nine years, ********** was named Best ******* in North America, and was also awarded ‘Best Business Class in North America’ at the Skytrax ***** ******* Awards.
