Athens Airport Wins Routes 2013 Airport Marketing Award

“By continuing to offer – on top of the traditional incentives program – an additional scheme of targeted incentives, which in fact corresponds to discounts reaching up to 30 percent of AIA’s total airport charges, we further enhance our risk-sharing policy towards our airline partners,” AIA Communications and Marketing Director, Ioanna Papadopoulou, said.

Athens International Airport (AIA) won its 12th “Routes Europe” award in nine years at the 8th Routes Europe Forum, held in Budapest this year on 12-14 May.

“Routes Europe” is considered Europe’s biggest airline and airport networking route development forum and this year welcomed some 1,000 aviation professionals.

During the forum, Athens International Airport was the award winner in the 4–20 m. passengers category in recognition of its creativity and continuous dynamic support to its airline partners, especially in light of the extremely adverse conditions that the Greek economy is facing.

Having received recognition for nine consecutive years, AIA is the most awarded airport for its airport marketing performance.

Munich Airport was this year’s overall winner in the category over 20 million passengers.

“Our main objective is to contribute effectively in the joint effort to support the market, to contribute to the attractiveness of Athens as a destination and respond actively to airlines’ needs, especially amid this extremely adverse period,”AIA Communications and Marketing Director, Ioanna Papadopoulou, said when receiving the award.
