The 2025 CAPSE Civil Aviation Annual Summit took place in Xiamen on June 4 and 5, returning to the city for the first time since its inaugural event in 2014. At that initial summit, Xiamen Airlines received a CAPSE Aviation Service Award, beginning a streak that continued this year as the airline secured the same honor for an eleventh consecutive year. In addition to this achievement, Xiamen Airlines was also recognized with the special award for the 2024 Most Valuable Chinese Airline Brand.
According to organizers, “Since its establishment in 2014, the CAPSE Aviation Service Awards have become one of the most authoritative honors in the civil aviation sector.” The latest evaluation process used CAPSE’s passenger-review big-data platform and included data from 246 airlines and over 304,000 flights. The process gathered nearly 1.5 million passenger questionnaires during 2024. “Xiamen Airlines’ ability to stand out in this rigorous process for eleven straight years fully demonstrates its exceptional performance in passenger satisfaction and continuous service innovation,” organizers said.
In addition to domestic recognition, Xiamen Airlines received international awards during 2024. These included winning the APEX World Class Award for a third year and receiving APEX’s global award for Best Cabin Service.
