East Midlands Airport’s bus network ‘Skylink’ has been short-listed for two awards at the prestigious National Transport Awards 2008. The awards, now in its eighth year, recognise excellence across the transport industry in the UK and Ireland.
The East Midlands Airport Bus Partnership, consisting of the Airport, six neighbouring county and city local authorities and four bus operators, has been nominated for the Transport Team / Partnership of the Year Award. Over 50 submissions entered this category with 7 making the shortlist, including Gatwick and Stansted Airport Bus Partnerships.
The Skylink project has also been short-listed for the Travel Information and Marketing Award for its strategic approach to boost passenger numbers by 44% in the last 12 months. The project was chosen above 40 other submissions and is one of 8 short-listed nominees.
Kelly McHugh, Bus Marketing, East Midlands Airport, said ‘It is a great achievement to be nominated for two awards. We are delighted that all our hard work has been recognised.’ The winners will be announced on July 15 at the awards ceremony held at the Grosvenor Hotel London.
