Air France La Première service recognition

Overview

Air France has received significant recognition for its La Première First Class service at the 2026 Skytrax World Airline Awards. The carrier was named the provider of the world’s best First Class, specifically highlighting the La Première cabin on Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. This cabin, unveiled in early 2025 after three years of development, is designed to emulate the privacy of a private jet. The suites feature modular configurations, approximately 3.5 square meters of private area, and five electric-shuttered windows for natural light.

In addition to the top First Class honor, Air France earned titles for best First Class lounge dining at Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport and best First Class amenity kit, which features products from Sisley. The airline was also recognized for ‘Best Premium Economy Class Catering in Europe’ and maintained its position as the best airline in Western Europe for the sixth consecutive year.

Following these awards, Air France rose to seventh place in the overall global airline rankings, up from eighth the previous year. The airline’s success is attributed to its ‘French luxury’ approach, which combines high-end amenities, dedicated workspaces, and culinary offerings developed with Michelin-starred chefs.
