We had started this journey together with our fans and followers, and many more achievements are on the horizon for nasair.”
The award process began almost two months ago by opening nominations in 5 categories — three for airlines and one each for airports and travel solution providers. Over 50 high-quality nominations were received from Airlines & Airports, of which overall 21 candidates across 5 categories made it to the shortlist.
