Glasgow Airport has won a Best in Europe award one week after being named Scottish Airport of the Year.

It won the Best Airport with 5-10 million Passengers award from the professional association of airport operators, Airport Council International Europe (ACI Europe).

The airport beat Naples and Lyon to take the title at a ceremony hosted by Athens International Airport on Tuesday.

The award recognises Glasgow's new routes and services including direct flights to Halifax in Nova Scotia and Las Vegas.

Glasgow is also the current holder of the UK Airport of the Year title as well as the Airport Operators Association Airport of the Year.

Amanda McMillan, managing director of Glasgow Airport, said: “We were highly commended at last year's ACI Europe awards so to have gone one step further and secured the title of Best Airport in what is our 50th anniversary is a huge honour.

“We have worked extremely hard to provide our customers with an ever increasing choice of destinations and have committed significant investment to enhancing our facilities.

“I am immensely proud to receive this award on behalf of the 5,000 people who have achieved so much over the course of the past year and ensured that Glasgow Airport continues to deliver for the city and for Scotland.''
