Brussels Airport has been crowned the overall winner of the Routes Europe 2018 Marketing Awards. Leon Verhallen, the airport's head of aviation development, said: “We had not been nominated for two years in a row, so we are absolutely delighted to win this award and be recognised by our European clients."

Europe’s aviation industry leaders will gather in Bilbao this weekend (22-24 April) at the 13th annual Routes Europe to plan and negotiate new air services within the region.

With less than three weeks until the event, delegates are encouraged to secure their place at the earliest available opportunity.
