Airports International (incorporating Air Traffic Management), CANSO and Airspace World are looking forward to recognising the best 2024 achievements from across the industry

This year – in a nod to the increasing breadth of today’s aviation sector – we have expanded the awards to feature six individual award categories and an overall award winner. The awards aim to encourage pioneering concepts and acknowledge the significant achievements of companies, project teams and individuals. Don’t hesitate to nominate an individual if you feel they have played a key role in advancing one of the categories.

Please note that activities need to have been implemented during 2024.
