The WebAwards is the standards-defining competition that sets benchmarks for 96 industries, including airline web sites, based on the seven criteria of a successful Web site.

Many are creating a travel destination for visitors to learn about locations, events in the area, hotels, cars or complete vacation services."
Web sites are judged on seven criteria including design, innovation, content, technology, interactivity, copy writing and ease of use. Each WebAward entry is judged against other entries in its industry category and then against an overall standard of excellence.
All entrants benefit from receiving valuable feedback in terms of their specific scores compared against the average scores for their industry. They also may receive specific comments from the WebAward's professional judging panel on their Web site development efforts.
Winners of a WebAward in the airline category will also receive:
* Image plaque or certificate of achievement
* Increased visibility for their company
* Marketing opportunity to promote the company website to the media
* Links to your site from the highly ranked WebAward site to help SEO
* Admiration of peers, friends and co-workers
Each year the Web Marketing Association names the Best Airline Website based on the scores submitted by the competition judges. Recent winners of the Best Airline Web site include:
