Ellie McGimpsey, Aviation Development Manager at Belfast City Airport, said: “We are thrilled to be the only UK airport recognised in the Routes Europe 2024 Awards, serving as testament to our dedication to going above and beyond to support our airline partners, delivering sustained growth and route development.
“At Belfast City Airport, we pride ourselves on our ‘partner in market’ approach and it is fantastic to have our collaborative work recognised on a European level.”

Ellie continued: “Having our efforts acknowledged by a panel of esteemed international judges is incredibly rewarding, and it is an honour to be shortlisted amongst a selection of exceptional airports. We look forward to celebrating the great work being undertaken across the aviation industry at Routes Europe 2024 and wish all shortlisted the best of luck!”
