scoop

AirlineRatings.comが今年の「最も優れた航空会社ランキング」を発表し，Air New Zealandが昨年に引き続き1位の座に輝きました。
scoopというと「…をすくい取る」や「を特ダネで出し抜く」という意味が想起されますが，その他に「(映画などで)〈賞〉をとる」という意味があります（『プログレッシブ英和中辞典』小学館）。英英辞書にもto win a prize or award（LDOCE）とありました。

And the world's 'most excellent' airline is...
(CNN) -- Hobbits might not need the extra legroom, but they know a good airline when they see one.
Air New Zealand, the carrier that has regularly pressed the diminutive denizens of Middle Earth into service in its advertising campaigns, has been named the world's best airline.
Australia-based safety assessment website AirlineRatings.com says the airline came top of its 2015 "airline excellence" chart because of its reputation as a "trendsetter."
It also led the website's top 10 airlines for 2015.
This is the second year in a row the airline has scooped the Airline of the Year prize.
