Newquay Cornwall Airport has just been honored with the prestigious ERA (European Regional Airline Association) Airport Achievement Award for 2009/10. The award was given in recognition of the Cornish Airport’s remarkable achievements from April 2008 to March 2009.
The European Regions Airline Association (ERA) is the principal body representing air transport in Europe. Founded in 1980 with just 5 members, ERA has grown since 1987, to represent 181 companies and is the only body representing the interests of the regional air transport industry in Europe. Members include 59 regional airlines, 25 airports and 97 associate and affiliate members comprising aircraft & engine manufacturers, international & regional airports and avionics suppliers & service providers.
The judges were particularly impressed by the transition of the Airport which had been highly complex and required significant new infrastructure to be built or upgraded to meet the Airports’ operating requirements. The works were all undertaken whilst the Airport continued to operate for both military and civil commercial aircraft.
Accepting the Award , Al Titterington, Newquay Cornwall Airport’s Operations Director said: “This endorsement, coming from the aviation industry, is extremely appreciated. The judges understand the airport business well and will appreciate the effort and dedication of all those at Newquay Cornwall Airport who worked so hard to make our transition from military to civilian airport such an outstanding success.”
