Porter Airlines is celebrating its recent ranking as the highest rated Canadian Airline in the Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Top 30 Airlines category.
The survey also places Porter in second place worldwide in the Small Airlines category, and fifth place worldwide in the Top 30 Airlines category, which includes elite industry leaders such as Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific and Emirates.
The annual awards reflect the opinions and preferences of Condé Nast Traveler's discerning readers, who rate destinations they visited in the past year, and the means of getting to them. Over 28,000 people voted in the 2011 survey, which selected the top cities, hotels, airlines and more.
"Condé Nast Traveler is widely recognized as a trusted source for travel advice and information, and we're proud to be chosen by readers as one of the best airlines in the world," said Robert Deluce, president and CEO of Porter Airlines. "Our passengers enjoy a truly unique premium travel experience, and this distinction is proof of that."
