www.Parctel.com: East Midlands Airport (EMA) has just been voted ‘Best Airport’ at the Baltic Air Charter Association (BACA) Awards 2007 at a prestigious ceremony in London.
The annual awards event, hosted by former England rugby centre and 2003 World Cup winner Will Greenwood, was held recently at Plaisterer’s Hall and brought together hundreds of aviation industry representatives. Last year the ‘Best Airport’ award went to Dubai Airport so the standard was extremely high. The membership of BACA was asked to vote for the best airport they had dealt with over the last year.
It is the fourth time in two years that East Midlands Airport has been hailed as ‘Best UK Airport’ – in 2005, EMA was commended by the TTG British Travel Awards and in 2006, by the Travel Weekly Globe Awards and by Selling Long Haul and Short Breaks magazine respectively.
Managing Director of East Midlands Airport, Penny Coates said,
“This is another great achievement for the whole team at the Airport and it’s fantastic to be recognised in this way, especially on a global platform. It’s a real testament to the hard work that has been put into making East Midlands Airport an excellent international facility for both passengers and freight – something we are all immensely proud of”.
Chairman of the Baltic Air Charter Association, Markham Jackson said,
“I consider that the award for East Midlands Airport is well deserved, as shown by the response of the membership and I would like to congratulate the Airport on this further honour”.
