Voting for the fifth and final regional heat of the 2013 Routes Airport Marketing Awards is now open and airlines from within the CIS region are being asked to consider the efficient use of marketing activities by an airport over the last 12 months when deciding who to nominate.
Winners of the awards, which recognise the marketing performance of airports within the CIS, will be announced during the Routes CIS Networking Evening which will be held on Monday 22ndJuly at the event in Donetsk.
The annual Routes awards are highly regarded as the most valuable awards in the industry as they are voted for and judged by the airline network planning community. They provide the airline community with the chance to have their say as to which airport they think provides the best overall marketing services to them whether it be about their particular relationship, effective results, provision of data and information or innovative techniques to establish new or maintain and develop existing routes.
These much sought after awards are a great way for the winning airports to have a credible recognition which they can proudly talk about to their customers and other stakeholders. Pulkovo International Airport was announced as the winner of last year’s CIS heat and speaking at the time Evgeniy Ilyin, Commercial Director, Northern Capital Gateway, the operators of Pulkovo International Airport said: “I am absolutely delighted to come up to collect this prestigious award at what is a celebratory time at the airport. In the last couple of days we celebrated the 80th anniversary of Pulkovo International and being presented with the Routes Airport Marketing Award for the CIS region shows just how far we have come in that period. The arrival of seven new operators in the past calendar year shows we are doing something right and to secure the direct link to Dubai International with Emirates Airline was a major endorsement on our business arrangements.”
The Routes CIS Awards 2013 will see a number of new innovations for the event in Donetsk which have 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 will include a number of airports who will be 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.
Simply click here and log in to your Routesonline profile to nominate (in priority order) up to five airports in your network within the region, irrespective of their size. Voting will remain open until Friday 5th July 2013 and shortlisted airports will be announced shortly after this deadline.
