Munich Crowned Overall Winner at Second Regional Heat of 2013
Munich Airport was announced as the overall winner of the third heat of
this year's Routes Awards last night at a spectacular networking evening which
took place at Terminal One of Budapest Airport. Over 1,000 aviation
professionals were gathered to witness the presentation of the awards and to
take part in the 8th Routes Europe - the largest route development event for
the entire Europe region to date.
"We are really looking forward now to the World Routes awards and we are
very optimistic," said Alexander Schroll, Director, Traffic Development for
Munich Airport, speaking just after receiving the award. "We are very happy to
receive this award and very excited because the competition in Europe is
becoming very fierce between the airports so it's great to be number one again
after a couple of years!"
Nigel Mayes, VP Commercial, Routes, UBM Live commented: "After much
deliberation our panel of judges felt that Munich should take the overall
winner crown due to quality of their submission combined with their consistent
growth and ability to continually attract new airlines including Ukraine
International Airlines and Vueling."
The Routes Awards recognise and reward the highest standards of marketing
activities undertaken by airports and tourism authorities. The 2013 awards will
see a number of innovations including taking a blended approach to the
nomination process, meaning the final nominees included a number of the fastest
growing airports in Europe, those who were shortlisted by airlines using our
