Top airport award for Glasgow

Glasgow Airport, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary, has been named the best in the category of those handling between 5m and 10m passengers.

The title, awarded by Airport Council International (ACI) Europe, was made at a ceremony last week hosted by Athens International Airport. The citation acknowledged Glasgow’s focus on “enhancing its facilities, improving the passenger experience and securing a host of new routes and services”.

Glasgow beat European Naples and Lyon to the title, which comes one week after it was crowned Scottish Airport of the Year. 

Glasgow is also the current holder of the UK Airport of the Year title and achieved the same status in the Airport Operators Association (AOA) survey.

The judging panel for the ACI Europe awards was drawn from a group of independent experts including Eurocontrol, the European Commission, European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC), European Travel Commission (ETC) and Air Transport World.

Glasgow last year secured 30 new routes and services including direct flights to Halifax in Nova Scotia; Budapest, Prague and Las Vegas and has continued this success into 2016, when it will launch 16 new services.
