Garuda Indonesia followed closely, scoring 8.8, with a balanced performance and strong passenger ratings. Etihad Airways secured third place with a score of 8.45, offering consistent Ramadan meal service.

Singapore Airlines, with a score of 6.1, ranked 11th. The airline had a low delay rate of 0.77%, but 22.5% of its evening flights were affected, impacting its overall performance. Halal meal options on Singapore Airlines typically require advance selection, which affected its ranking.

Malaysia Airlines also placed in the middle tier, scoring 7.8. It experienced a low flight delay rate of 0.93%, but 25% of its evening flights were delayed. The availability of halal meals and strong passenger reviews contributed to its ranking.
