Voting is now open for the European regional heat of the 2012 Routes Airport Marketing Awards.
The Routes Airport Marketing Awards recognise the marketing performance of airports and the winners of this regional heat will be announced during the Routes Europe Networking Evening which will be held on Monday 21stMay at the event in Tallinn.
The best people to judge an airport’s marketing activities are its primary users: the airlines themselves and therefore airports should actively campaign their airline customers to ensure that they are voting for them in the Routes Airport Marketing Awards – Europe. The overall winner from the region will join the overall winners from each of the other Routes regional events taking place in 2012 and will automatically be shortlisted in their region for the World Routes Marketing Awards.
Airlines, should consider airports whose marketing efforts, over the last 12 months, have made a real impact on their future network development plans when deciding who to nominate. The airport’s market research activities, marketing communications, business case presentations and joint communication campaigns with third parties should all be taken into account when voting in these highly regarded awards.
The Routes Airport Marketing Awards are now synonymous with recognising and rewarding the highest standards of marketing activities undertaken by airports. After being nominated by airlines, the shortlisted airports are then asked to submit details about their marketing activities, results and support packages to airlines. A panel of judges considers these submissions based upon how they match the entry brief, demonstrate evidence of relationships with airlines, use innovative ways of marketing to airlines and creative application.
At last year’s Routes Europe event in Cagliari, Sardinia, Budapest Airport was named as the overall winner for the European region. Budapest has been participating in the Routes events (the World Route Development Forum and Routes Europe) for more than a decade and was recently selected as the host of next year’s Routes Europe event. Being named as the overall winner of the Routes Europe Airport Marketing Awards, highlights the airport’s successful route expansion programme.
Speaking at the time, Director of Aviation at Budapest Airport, Kam Jandu said: “These awards represent the combined efforts of the entire Commercial team at Budapest Airport, who in the last two years have really made a quantum leap in putting Budapest Airport Airline Development and Marketing at the forefront of airline route development. It is especially gratifying to have our achievements acknowledged by industry experts and other key influencers.”
