Papeete, February 15, 2021

This Thursday, Air Tahiti Nui was awarded prestigious distinctions during the Business Traveller’s Cellars in the Sky 2020. The airline was rewarded with two Gold medals for its wines served on board as well as the gold medal in the ranking of the Best business Class Cellars. The design of the menu offered by Air Tahiti Nui to the passengers of the Poerava Business Class was also awarded as “highly commended” by the jury experts.

After winning two medals last year, the wines offered by the airline once again stood out during the Cellars in the Sky 2020. This annual competition establishes a ranking of the best wine lists proposed on board international airlines. The awards are presented by a jury of independent professionals. These experts carry out blind tastings to rank the most refined wines, rated out of 100.
