Best Station Award
Celebrating the ground handling station that took a starring role in combatting the coronavirus pandemic or has established a reputation for going above and beyond in its service delivery to carriers. Judges are looking for examples of a station that took proactive steps to protect staff and passengers from the virus throughout and looked to evolve services to assist with the handling of emergency Covid-19 cargo and repatriation flights. Covid-19 related or otherwise, we want to celebrate a true team effort that has seen senior leaders inspire performance improvements across all areas of their station from back of house ramp teams to front of house passenger service agents.
