Routes for Abu Dhabi

Following the success of last week’s Routes airline conference in Berlin, Abu Dhabi will play host to the 2012 event, 30 September through 3 October.  This is the first time Routes has returned to a host city, having previously been held in 1996 in the region.

Abu Dhabi was also named airport of the year at the Berlin Networking Evening which took place at the site of the new Berlin Brandenburg Airport Willy Brandt, nine months before the new airport for Germany’s capital region is due to open.

Budapest Airport was announced as the winner from the European region, with Los Angeles honoured from the Americas region.  From the Africa region Accra International Airport (Ghana) was ranked top whilst the Asia Region saw top honours going to Abu Dhabi.

Winners of the two newest World Routes Awards were AirAsia X for best network performance by an airline and Malta Tourism Authority in the tourism category.

Additionally, Kenya Airways was named as the winner of the Orbis Social Responsibility Award for their “Change makes Change” programme which enables customers and staff to raise funds to alleviate famine and drought in Northern Kenya. www.routesonline.com
