November 21, 2008—The Airport Facilities Council of the International Facility Management Association (IFMA) named its second annual Airport Facilities Management Excellence Award winners during IFMA’s World Workplace 2008 Conference & Expo in Dallas, TX.
The awards are designed to recognize the hard work of worthy airport FM teams around the world who work behind the scenes to improve passenger comfort by ensuring that everyday activities—such as airfield operation and airport renovation and maintenance—go smoothly and efficiently. The competition was open to all airports regardless of their membership in IFMA or the Airport Facilities Council.
The Seattle-Tacoma International Airport received first place in the Greater than 30 Million Annual Passengers Served category, with the Greater Toronto Airports Authority—which manages Toronto Pearson Airport—receiving second place.
The Salt Lake City Department of Airports—which oversees three airports throughout Utah—won first place in the 20-30 Million Annual Passengers Served category.
The San Diego International Airport received first place in the 10-20 Million Annual Passengers Served category, and for the second year in a row, Oregon’s Eugene Airport won first place in the Less than One Million Annual Passengers Served category.
