It thereby received recognition for its efforts in areas of energy efficiency (its emissions have fallen 16% over five years) as well as for other innovative initiatives it has undertaken, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Car-share scheme;<\/li>\n<li>Public transport system connecting passengers to the centre of London;<\/li>\n<li>Innovative &#8216;Sound Lab&#8217; programme which carries out sound simulations to attempt to demonstrate the real impact for residents of the area following the future building of the third runway.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These two awards come in the wake of a record year for the airport, which saw 73.4m passengers pass through its gates, and in which passenger satisfaction levels have reached their highest levels.<\/p>\n<p>John Holland-Kaye, Chief Executive of Heathrow, emphasized that: \u201cwe are proud to receive these awards. \u00a0We work hard every day to ensure improvement in passenger experience at our airports. Heathrow plays a hugely important role both as the front door to the UK and also by connecting the British market to markets across the globe.\u00a0 Our efforts to make this one of the best airports in the world have been recognised. Now we just need permission to expand our airport and be able to go forward improving our country\u2019s connections with the rest of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This two-fold recognition joins the list of awards that Heathrow has received recently, which include the triple recognition as \u201cBest airport in Western Europe&#8221;; \u201cBest Airport for Shopping\u201d for the sixth time running; \u201cBest Airport Terminal\u201d for Terminal 5 for the fourth time running at the Skytrax World Airport Awards; and Terminal 2 being crowned, along with Star Alliance, as &#8220;World\u2019s Airport of the Year&#8221;, at the Air Transport World\u2019s 41<sup>st<\/sup> Annual Airline Industry Achievement Awards.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Glasgow received the award in the 5-10 million passengers category<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Furthermore, the ACI EUROPE Awards also recognised Glasgow Airport as one of the best in Europe in the 5-10 million passengers a year category, due to its quality of customer care, its facilities, the services it provides its passengers, security, community relations and its environmental commitment.<\/p>\n<p>The ACI awards analyse and recognise efforts made by European airports in areas such as customer care, facilities, retail spaces, security, community relations, respect for the environment and operational excellence.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n
