SKYTRAX have announced that the 2013 World Airline Awards will be staged as part of the Paris Airshow, and will take place on 18th June 2013.

Edward Plaisted of SKYTRAX commented: "We are delighted to have this fantastic cooperation with the Paris Airshow organisers, GIFAS, to stage this Premier Airline Awards event at the 2013 Paris Airshow. We first held the Awards in Paris in 2011, and after such a major success it was an easy decision to want to again stage the event here in 2013."

"The attendance of different airlines to the 2011 Awards event was astounding, and we look forward to an even stronger level of attendance and support for this year's Awards event in Paris," added Plaisted.
