Glasgow wins Airport of the Year

Glasgow Airport has been named Airport of the Year at the Scottish Transport Awards for the second year in a row.

The airport was shortlisted for the award alongside Aberdeen International, also part of AGS Airports Ltd group, and Inverness.

The Scottish Transport Awards looked a little different in 2020. Instead of being announced in the company of 450+ industry professionals to the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Glasgow in June, as originally planned, the award winners were announced in a video that was played during the virtual Scottish Transport Awards Summit.

Mark Johnston, chief operating officer of AGS Airports Ltd, which owns Aberdeen, Glasgow and Southampton Airports, said:

We are extremely proud to win this award and thrilled to do so for the second year in a row. It couldn’t come at a better time given the challenges Glasgow Airport and the wider industry is currently facing.

“Thousands of people from dozens of companies work hard each and every day across our campus to ensure Glasgow Airport continues to deliver its unique brand of customer service for our passengers.

“Like the rest of the country, we’re operating in very difficult circumstances, however, I’m immensely proud of the fact we’ve remained open and operational throughout this pandemic to continue to deliver vital air services for our customers. Being named Scottish Airport of the Year is a welcome boost.”
