Flybe has earned a prestigious award for the second year in a row.
The carrier has received the prize for Best Short-Haul Airline at the Business Travel Awards.
Flybe also managed to secure a spot in the Top 5 list in the category of Best Airline Worldwide.
Mike Rutter, chief commercial officer for the airline, welcomed the award - calling it a "clear validation" of its position as an industry leader.
"We are delighted to receive such high profile recognition and, of course, to receive the Best Short-Haul Airline award for the second year in a row makes it particularly special," he said.
Mr Rutter went on to add that the next challenge is to "make it a triple" by earning the award in 2012.
London City Airport was also included in the accolades at the ceremony.
It picked up the award for best UK facility in recognition of its efficiency and commitment towards customer service.
