Kilimanjaro International Airport has been crowned overall winner of the Routes
Africa Marketing Awards for the second year running. The winners of the 4th
regional heat of the Routes Marketing Awards were announced last night during
the Routes Africa Networking Evening which took place against a stunning
backdrop on the Golf Course of the Elephant Hills Hotel & Resort.

Speaking just after receiving the award Mattijs Smith, Managing Director of
Kilimanjaro Airport said: "We are very delighted and proud to win the overall
Routes Africa award for the second year in a row. This award is a true
recognition by our airline customers for strengthening our existing routes and
achieving a record growth of 24% in traffic in 2013."

The annual Routes awards are highly regarded as the most prestigious awards in
the industry as they are voted for and judged by the airline network planning
community. They provide the airline community with the chance to have their say
as to which airport or tourism authority they think provides the best overall
marketing services to them whether this relates to their particular
relationship, effective results, provision of data and information or
innovative techniques to establish new or maintain and develop existing routes.

Katie Bland, Director Routes for UBM Live commented: "We were delighted with
the high level of submissions and congratulate all those that were nominated,
those recognised as Highly Commended by the panel of judges and of course all
of the section winners. Kilimanjaro International Airport has once again shown
how seriously it takes network development and their submission included
examples of their marketing material and their dedication to improving routes
to their airport."

As overall winner of this regional heat, Kilimanjaro International Airport will
be automatically shortlisted for the World Routes Marketing Awards which will
be announced in Chicago this September. Kilimanjaro joins Tampa International
Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport and City Airport Bremen who were
announced as overall winners of the Americas, Asia and Europe heats
respectively, earlier in the year.

Kilimanjaro was also named as the winner from the Under 4 million passengers
category, with Durban King Shaka International Airport honoured from the Over 4
million passengers category and Madagascar Tourism Board ranked top in the
Destination Marketing Category.
