Lufthansa has been named Europe’s leading airline for the 7th time. It’s also the 4th year in a row that Germany’s flagship airline has taken the award at the World Travel Awards Europe, which this year took place in Athens.

One of the features that sets Lufthansa apart from its rivals is the fact that the airline boasts the largest internet-enabled, long-haul fleet in the world, with 91 percent of its long-haul planes outfitted with wifi.

Lufthansa was also named Best Western European Airline and Best Transatlantic Airline at the World Airline Awards  last month in London.
