City Airport Bremen take top spot at 3rd regional heat of 2014
Last night during a Fabulous networking evening at the Marseille Provence
Cruise Terminal, City Airport Bremen was announced as the overall winner of the
Europe heat of this year's Routes Marketing Awards. A record number of aviation
professionals were gathered to witness the presentation of the awards and to
take part in the 9th Routes Europe - the largest route development event for
the entire European region.
Speaking just after receiving the award City Airport Bremen's, Director Sales &
Marketing, Florian Kruse said: "We are absolutely delighted about the win. The
whole team has done an absolutely amazing and wonderful job over the past year
and across the first months of 2014 and have collectively invented our current
marketing campaign. We say a big thank you to our customers and friends in the
industry and look forward to perhaps raising the bar further in Chicago at this
year's World Routes."
The annual Routes awards are highly regarded as the most prestigious 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 or tourism authority they think provides the best
overall marketing services to them whether this relates to their particular
relationship, effective results, provision of data and information or
innovative techniques to establish new or maintain and develop existing routes.
As overall winner of this regional heat, City Airport Bremen will be
automatically shortlisted for the World Routes Marketing Awards which will be
announced in Chicago this September. Bremen joins Tampa International Airport
and Abu Dhabi International Airport who were announced as overall winner of the
Americas and Asia heats respectively, earlier in the year.
Bremen was also named as the winner from the Under 4 million passengers
category with Brussels Airport honoured from the 4-20 million passengers
category. From the Over 20 million passengers category Copenhagen Airport were
ranked top and the Destination Award went to Valencia Tourism.
Katie Bland, Director Routes for UBM Live said: "We were delighted with the
high level of submissions and congratulate all those that were nominated, those
recognised as Highly Commended by the panel of judges and of course all of the
section winners. It was a close run thing but City Airport Bremen were worthy
winners. The airport has worked tirelessly to get their name out there against
the big boys and they are standing out from the crowd in terms of creative
campaigns and their results over the past year."
The shortlisted finalists were nominated by airlines and a respected panel of
