CDG recognised
Charles de Gaulle added 71 new routes and 23 new destinations to its map in 2022, and the airport has now recovered 88% of 2019 passenger traffic levels.
In the under 5 million passenger category, Newcastle International Airport was named the winner.
The 5-10 million passenger category was won by Larnaka International Airport.
Brussels Airport, winner of the 10-20 million passenger category, provides extensive marketing support for their airline partners, with campaigns over the last year including 10 online activation contests, 16 social media campaigns, and 12 on-airport giant display opportunities. The airport’s traffic has now returned to 90% of 2019 levels, supported by a passenger growth incentive scheme.
Cape Town Air Access was named the winner of the destination category.
Spanish low-cost carrier Vueling secured the airline award. The airline’s focus is on building a sustainable future for the carrier and its partners, putting emphasis on a long-term approach to partnerships. As a result, around 85% of its services stretch beyond the three-year mark, and the airline operates a higher frequency per route than its competitors.
The rising star award was won by Tatamo Rakotozafy, head of aviation marketing at Ravinala Airports. Tatamo has been instrumental in improving air connectivity for the airport operator, with achievements including lobbying government authorities to facilitate new routes and the reopening of borders, forming committees to build strong relationships with aviation and tourism stakeholders, and establishing the first financial incentive programme for airports in the country.
The individual leadership award was won by Vicki Jaramillo, chief development officer at Orlando International Airport. Vicki has dedicated her career to connecting the world to Orlando. Her passion for promoting air service stems from her own personal travel experiences, driving her to play a key role in the launch of multiple international routes with major carriers including Emirates, Lufthansa and many more.
