Routes Airport Marketing Awards – Shortlisted Airports Announced!

Voting has now closed for the fifth and final regional heat of the 2013 Routes Airport Marketing Awards and the shortlisted airports were announced earlier this week.

The Routes CIS Awards 2013 will see a number of innovations for the event in Donetsk which have been continued throughout the year at all other Routes events, and will culminate at World Routes in Las Vegas this October.

These innovations include a blended approach to the shortlisted airports where the final shortlist includes a number of airports who have been shortlisted using our online voting form together with a number of airports who have been shortlisted by a panel of industry experts drawn from the airline network planning community. This year the awards have been split into two categories based on the size of the airport. There will be one winner from each category and one of those winners will also be announced as the overall winner for the entire CIS region.
