24 Sep 2009

Manchester Airport was named 'airport of the year' at the TTG Travel Awards this week.

The honours were handed out during a ceremony at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London on 22 September to recognise 'outstanding performance' in the travel industry.

Manchester beat off competition from London Luton, Southampton and Birmingham to win the airport accolade.

Andrew Cornish, managing director of the north-west gateway, said: 'We are extremely proud to have secured such a highly acclaimed award which is a real tribute to the efforts of the 19,000 people who work at Manchester airport.

'Travel agents are this industry's experts so to receive this recognition from them is praise indeed.'

Qatar Airways was named the year's leading airline, while the award for the best tourist board went to Dubai Tourism and Commerce Marketing.

Lucy Huxley, editor of TTG, said that all of the winners had demonstrated 'innovative and robust' business models that allowed them to thrive despite the economic downturn.
