This Airline Was Just Named the Cleanest in the World for 2025

"Nothing is worse than finally reaching the front of a boarding line only to discover you'll be spending the next several hours on a crusty cushion alongside mysterious gobs. And even if the seats are pristine, who knows what you'll find lurking behind that bathroom door when nature calls mid-flight. If you're looking to avoid the stains and spills, there's one particular airline you should start racking up miles on; Skytrax's annual World Airline Awards dubbed EVA Air the world's cleanest airline of 2025."

"The Taiwanese airline scrubbed its way to the top by maintaining squeaky-clean cabins from carpet to ceiling, including bathrooms. Passengers can expect spotless windows, tidy seatback pockets, and armrests free of any gooey residue. Japanese airline Ana All Nippon Airways was runner-up in the category, followed by Cathay Pacific Airways, Singapore Airlines, and Qatar Airways, which also snagged the title of overall best airline of 2025."

"Non-stop flights to Taiwan's capital city are also available from Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, New York, and Seattle. All of EVA's unsoiled tray tables are put to good use-its business class passengers can enjoy world-renowned soup dumplings thanks to the airline's partnership with acclaimed restaurant chain Din Tai Fung. The grub is still good farther back on the plane, as EVA Air also claimed the No. 1 spot for best economy catering this year."

Business class passengers enjoy soup dumplings through a Din Tai Fung partnership, and EVA Air won best economy catering. EVA Air pioneered premium economy in the 1990s and is a Star Alliance member.
