Skytrax is doing a good job of identifying an airline's weaknesses and strengths. This awarding body certainly brings up the quality of aviation by demanding the companies to meet strict standards for customer satisfaction. I'm sure airlines will have a chance to show off their potential as long as there's an awarding body that takes notice.
