**Separately, Scoot ranked fifth amongst low-cost carriers.**

Singapore Airlines was ranked the world’s third-best full-service airline for 2026, according to AirlineRatings.com’s latest global rankings.

The carrier placed behind Qatar Airways and Cathay Pacific, which took first and second place, respectively, in the full-service category.

Separately, the airlines’ wholly owned subsidiary, Scoot, ranked fifth amongst low-cost carriers, placing behind airlines including HK Express, Jetstar, AirAsia Group, and AirBaltic.

Singapore Changi Airport was named the world’s best airport for 2026, marking its second consecutive year at the top of the rankings.

The ranking cited the airport’s passenger experience, operational performance, and connectivity.

AirlineRatings.com said its rankings are based on in-flight product and passenger experience, assessed using measurable onboard criteria rather than public voting.
