Manchester, 17 June 2009: The 5th Annual ACI EUROPE Best Airport Awards
were announced yesterday evening in Manchester during the gala dinner of the
19th ACI EUROPE Annual Congress. It was the conclusion to a day of intensive
exchanges and debates between nearly 400 top industry representatives, national
government and EU officials on the key challenges European airports are facing,
including the climate change priority and the effects of the crisis on the sector.
This years’ judging panel was drawn from a well-respected group of independent
experts including the European Commission, EUROCONTROL and the European
Disability Forum. ACI EUROPE counts more than 400 airports in 46 European
countries among its membership and this year’s competition saw a high level of
entries in each of the four categories.
The ACI EUROPE Best Airport Awards* cover 4 categories of airport and aim to
recognise achievement in core activities such as customer service, retail, security
and environmental awareness.
The awards were presented to winning airports by Dr Yiannis Paraschis, President
of ACI EUROPE and Chief Executive Officer of Athens International Airport, Mike
Davies, Chairman of Manchester Airports Group, David McMillan, Director General
EUROCONTROL and Daniel Calleja, Director Air Transport, European Commission.
The first award, recognising airports in the ‘1-5 million passenger’category, went
to Aeroporto G. Marconi Di Bologna SpA for being ‘a great all-rounder’ in
operations, retail, community engagement and airline relations.
The winner of the ‘5-10 million passenger’category was TAV Ankara Esenboğa
Airport. As with number of the top candidates in this category, the airport excels
in all the keys areas of operations, however the judges singled it out for its work in
the area of environmental innovation, securing an incredible 25% energy savings
stemming from its recycling of exhaust gases to power its air conditioning plants.
This year’saward in the ‘10-25 million passenger’category went to Palma de
Mallorca Airport. The airport’s exceptional success in defying the seasonality
associated with its status as a holiday destination. The airport’s strongrelations
with its airline customers and its successful adoption of a hub strategy helped to
make it the clear winner in this category.
And in the final category, for airports with ‘over 25 million passengers’, this year’s
final ACI EUROPE Best Airport award went to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The
judges cited Amsterdam Airport Schiphol’ssuccessful focus on community relations
and environmental awareness as the decisive factor for them –particularly
commending the airport for its “barrier of silence”, which willhelp minimise noise
for the neighbouring community.
