Well done, BA!

Revorgp - 22/09/2010 12:41

Most of these results dont add up?

LHR being the only European airport in the top 4 airports in the world, but then second in the top airports in Europe?

Did someone make these up? Also since when was Eurostar an airline?

Hello Revorgp. Welcome to BusinessTraveller.com and thank you for your comment.

Each of the Awards is as a result of an individual question asked of the readers in the reader's survey. Sometimes it can throw up results which don't seem to add up, as you say, but then that's the nature of first past the post counting for each individual award.

As for Eurostar being an airline - it's not. The Award is for Best Short Haul Carrier.

That makes more sence then, thanks.

Though the title is Airlines...
