With the global aviation industry becoming increasingly competitive, Saudi Arabia’s flagship carrier, Saudia, has earned a prestigious spot on Skytrax’s list of airlines offering the World’s Best Business Class for 2025.

This recognition from the internationally renowned air transport rating organisation, Skytrax, underscores Saudia and the Kingdom's dedication to delivering exceptional service, refined comfort, and world-class hospitality. As passenger expectations soar, Saudia continues to elevate the premium travel experience through thoughtful design, cutting-edge cabin features, and a distinctly Saudi touch for discerning travellers — solidifying its reputation as a top contender on the global aviation stage.

While Saudia falls just short of the top rankings, the national carrier proudly stands as the only Saudi Arabian airline to feature on the list, securing the 20th position in the overall global ranking. The United Arab Emirates' national carrier, Emirates, also misses out on a place in the top ten, and sits in 11th position on the list of World's Best Business Class Airlines.

Once again, Qatar Airways has dominated the Business Class category in the Skytrax rankings for 2025. The airline has once again secured the title of World’s Best Business Class Airline for 2025. A big year for the Qatari national carrier, Qatar Airways has also once again claimed the top spot among international airlines for 2025, marking its ninth time as the best airline in the world.
