East Midlands Airport receives Airport of the Year nomination

A celebratory mood is in the air at East Midlands Airport after recently receiving a nomination for one of the travel industry’s most prestigious awards.

Travel Trade Gazette has placed the airport in the shortlist for Airport of the Year, a testament to East Midlands’ dedication to being the best choice for travellers in the region.

“We had a record number of entries this year, demonstrating the resilience of the travel industry in this recession, so any firm which is shortlisted can feel very proud,” said Lucy Huxley, editor of Travel Trade Gazette. “Entrants are rated by the travel agents they work with, before being judged by panels of industry experts. Winners truly deserve to be named the best in our industry.”

Judges for the award include CEOs and Managing Directors of some of the biggest names in the industry, including Abta, Thomson and Virgin Holidays, in addition to leading figures from the commerce and retail sector.

Caroline Plant, Director of Marketing for East Midlands Airport said, “We are delighted to have received Individual and Group recognition for the prestigious TTG Awards, regarded as a universal benchmark of quality within the travel industry. Reaching the shortlist is a tremendous achievement and is a true reflection of the airport’s drive and determination to be the best.”

It’s not just the airport that has cause for celebration either. Long Stay Car Park 7 is a recipient of our gosimply.com Award for Customer Satisfaction this month. This means that when you choose to pre-book your East Midlands Airport parking there, you’re sure to get a hassle-free, value-for-money service.

Holiday makers from that part of the country could be forgiven for starting to feel a little bit spoilt, we reckon.
