BELFAST CITY AIRPORT EN ‘ROUTES’ TO WORLDWIDE MARKETING GONG
Airport is nominated by airlines for World Routes Marketing Awards
George Best Belfast City Airport has been shortlisted for one of the most prestigious aviation marketing awards in the world.
Leading aviation organisation, Routes, which manages the World Marketing Awards, has announced Belfast City Airport as one of five shortlisted contenders in the ‘Under 4million Passenger’ award category, which is chosen by airlines.
Belfast City is one of only two UK airports to make a World Routes Marketing Awards shortlist, and the only UK airport selected in its category.
The nomination follows what has been another very successful period for the airport, which was named sixth most convenient airport in the world, and most convenient airport in the UK and Ireland, in a recent study conducted by The Daily Telegraph.
Katy Best, Commercial and Marketing Manager at Belfast City Airport, commented: “We are delighted that we have been nominated by airlines for the highly-acclaimed World Routes Marketing Awards, which are recognised across the globe as one of the industry’s most prestigious awards.
“Our aim as a business is to work in close partnership with our airlines to maintain and develop mutually beneficial partnerships, so it is fantastic that our partners have recognised our aviation marketing as truly world-class.”
Belfast City Airport was also ranked as one of the top 10 airports in the UK for supporting passengers with a disability or reduced mobility in a recent Civil Aviation Authority report.
Katy continued:
“We offer our customers and airlines a best-in-class product. Our recent achievements in our access facilities, convenience to passengers and now our marketing excellence prove this.
“We would like to thank our partner airlines for their nomination, and we will maintain our commitment to delivering beyond what is expected.”
The winners will be announced during a ceremony at the World Routes Networking Evening on 26th September 2016 at the New Century Global Center in Chengdu.
Belfast is set to host the Routes Europe Conference in April 2017, an event which forms part of the wider Routes programme.
