Top 30 cleanest airlines in the world revealed by Skytrax

Japan’s All Nippon Airways was named the cleanest airline in the world.

All Nippon Airways has claimed the number one spot for cleanliness in a top 30 list dominated by Asian airlines.

UK-based aviation industry reviewer Skytrax asked passengers to rate the standard and quality of aircraft cabins for a global survey.

Seat areas, tables, carpets, cabin panels and washrooms are all part of the overall score.

ANA were awarded the honour ahead of Taiwan’s EVA Air and South Korea’s Asiana Airlines.

Singapore Airlines, Japan Airlines, Cathay Pacific Airways, Qatar Airways, Swiss International Air Lines, Hainan Airlines and Lufthansa make up the rest of the top 10.

Not a single British or US carrier made the top 30.

Cleanliness is a real concern for air travelers, with airports and planes seen as potential breeding grounds for bacteria.

According to the lab results, the airplane tray tables are the dirtiest of all the locations and surfaces.
