For the first time European airports picked up awards in all four categories at the annual OAG Airport Marketing Awards, presented this week at a Gala Dinner at the annual Routes Conference in Copenhagen.
Winners in the four categories were announced as; Munich - Greater than 25 million passengers per year
Athens International - 10-25 million passengers per year
Birmingham International - 5-10 million passengers per year
Berlin Airports - Less than 5 million passengers per year Beating off tough competition from airports around the world, the European winners were praised for their fresh approach to marketing themselves and industry partners, and for successfully executing activities that have left a positive impression in the marketplace. Announcing the winners at the Gala Dinner, Duncan Alexander, Managing Director, Europe, Middle East & Africa at OAG, commented “These Awards are highly prized by airports because they are voted for by their industry partners – the airline network planning community. OAG was delighted to sponsor the Airport Marketing Awards for the second year running to recognise the progress being made by airports selling their services to airlines and the public.” In addition to recognising the highest standards in airport marketing, the Routes Conference also provides an opportunity for the international airport and airline route development community to gather at a single location and market their businesses face-to-face.
