SINGAPORE, Jan 31 — Singapore Airlines (SIA) has been ranked as the world’s most admired airline and placed 28th overall in Fortune magazine’s annual list of the most admired companies globally.
SIA climbed from 29th place last year, marking its highest ranking to date.
“At Singapore Airlines, we are firmly committed to setting new standards in air travel and maintaining our industry leadership position,” SIA chief executive Goh Choon Phong was quoted saying by the Straits Times.
“This accolade from Fortune magazine reflects the passion, dedication and resilience of our people, who continuously strive to deliver a world-class travel experience.”
SIA is also the only Singapore-based company in the top 50 and the second-highest-ranked Asian firm after Toyota, which placed 25th.

There are 26 companies from the Asia-Pacific included in the list.
