Will anyone topple Infantino? How Fifa president is trying to cling on after World Cup sell-off debacle

Fifa president continues to lobby for re-election despite no other candidates coming forward to challenge him For Gianni Infantino there is no international break. The Fifa president is widely expected to make an appearance at the United Nations general assembly this week in New York, where he will lobby heads of state for their federations’ support as he continues his campaign to be re-elected next year. Infantino has not been idle during the lull since Fifa abandoned its World Cup sell-off plan last month, instead crisscrossing the globe on a private jet provided by Qatar Airways as part of its sponsorship deal with world football’s governing body.

Air Serbia and Croatia Airlines secure top three Skytrax rankings

Air Serbia and Croatia Airlines have been named among the leading carriers in their respective regions at the 2026 World Airline Awards, organised by Skytrax. However, changes to Skytrax’s geographic classifications and the number of airlines included make direct comparisons with last year more difficult. Air Montenegro, which featured in the previous two editions, has not appeared within any category. Air Serbia was voted the second-best airline in Eastern Europe, improving from third place last year. It ranked behind airBaltic and ahead of Georgian Airways, Bulgaria Air and TAROM. However, three carriers that were previously included in the category - LOT Polish Airlines, Wizz Air and Croatia Airlines - have been moved to a newly introduced Central European ranking. Croatia Airlines placed third in the Central European category, behind LOT Polish Airlines and Wizz Air. Skytrax listed only those three carriers in the ranking. The Croatian flag carrier was seventh in Eastern Europe last year, while LOT and Wizz placed first and fourth respectively. Skytrax has not provided an explanation for the geographic reshuffle or why only three airlines were included in the new Central European table. The classification is also applied inconsistently across the awards. In the regional cabin crew rankings, Croatia Airlines continues to be grouped under Eastern Europe. It was named the region’s second-best carrier for cabin crew, behind airBaltic, while Air Serbia placed third. Air Montenegro does not feature in any of the published 2026 rankings. The carrier placed tenth in Eastern Europe in both 2024 and 2025. Air Serbia maintained a strong showing in the regional airline categories. It was named the third-best regional carrier in Europe, behind Aegean Airlines and Air Dolomiti, retaining the same position as last year. Globally, it improved from eighteenth to seventeenth place among regional airlines. However, the Serbian carrier dropped out of the world’s top 100 airlines after making its first appearance in the ranking last year, when it placed 99th. Neither Croatia Airlines nor Air Montenegro featured in the top 100. Singapore Airlines was named the world’s best airline for the sixth time in the history of the awards, moving up from second place last year. It was followed by 2025 winner Qatar Airways, while Cathay Pacific retained third place. ANA All Nippon Airways and Turkish Airlines completed the top five. Turkish Airlines was also named Europe’s best carrier, ahead of Air France and Lufthansa, while oneworld was voted the world’s best airline alliance. The 2026 World Airline Awards were presented at a ceremony in London yesterday. The results were based on an online passenger survey conducted between September 2025 and August 2026, covering more than 300 airlines. Travellers from over 100 nationalities participated. Skytrax says the awards are independent, with no entry or registration fees, sponsorship or payments required from airlines. Survey submissions are screened, with duplicate, suspect and ineligible entries removed. Despite their prominence, the Skytrax rankings have faced criticism over their transparency. The organisation does not publish detailed vote totals, airline-specific sample sizes, scores or the weighting applied to individual survey categories. EX-YU Aviation News
