The other six Skytrax Five-Star Airlines include Asiana Airlines (South Korea), Cathay Pacific (Hong Kong, China), Kingfisher Airlines (India), Malaysia Airlines, Qatar Airways and Singapore Airlines.
"The future competition in the aviation market will become increasingly dependent on services rather than the size and market position of companies," Skytrax chief executive officer Edward Plaisted said.
Hainan Airlines began operating in 1993 in southern China's Hainan Province and now has nearly 500 domestic and international routes, covering more than 90 cities around the globe.
