March 30, 2020
We are pleased to announce this year’s winners, with a new category announced each day this week!
Now in its sixth year, these Awards are firmly-established as THE awards for the onboard hospitality sector. Our announcement of the winners is usually in Hamburg, but this year we’ve had to do things a little differently… These are YOUR awards and we are proud to make them happen for you.

New Cabin Concept Award for 2020:
This prestigious new award for airlines to enter, recognises cabin-wide innovations created by multiple touchpoints, coming together to support a new and specific vision for the cabin.
Who judges?
Our judging process is the best in the business and comprises our readers and a highly-respected judging panel of industry professionals.
Onboard Hospitality is read by over 15,500+ international buyers and suppliers of onboard hospitality – all experts in their field. Online voting allows them to help select the finalists. Our judges also review all the products and services entered and the combined result of both the readers and the experts forms the short-list.
Our judging panel is a group of distinguished experts with over 350 years of inflight experience between them, chaired by Onboard Hospitality’s former editor, Jo Austin. All finalists are personally examined and assessed by the panel during a full day of assessment, and together make the final decision on the winners in each category.
Entries for 2021 will open on September 1st 2020. Online voting begins mid December. Finalists are announced in February. Winners will be announced in March. Entries all enjoy exposure on our website throughout the voting period as well as through our social media and within the magazine. Winners appear in our prestigious annual Winners Supplement and are promoted through the year in our features and newsletters.
Awards event
Finalists are usually invited to attend a free awards presentation in Hamburg to hear from our judges who has won and why.
