For those who feel they would like to be considered for a World Routes Airport Marketing Award this year there is just one week of voting left and the procedure is simple; campaign your airline contacts and ask them to vote for you on our website here.
Once the airline network planning community has voted, the votes will be counted and the shortlisted airports contacted and asked for a submission to support their nomination. Submissions will be judged by a panel of leading industry experts and this year seniority of the panel is incredibly high. This submission process is designed to enable the shortlisted airports to provide information for the judging panel as to why they think they should win the award, providing evidence to support their case.
There are five main Airport Award categories split by region as follows:
- Americas
- Asia
- Europe
- CIS
- Africa
This year the Airport Marketing Awards, sponsored by OAG, will also include a special award for Airports Under Four Million Passengers and during the ceremony presentations of a Tourism Award and the ORBIS Award for Social Responsibility will also take place.
