Travel publications inducts SilkAir into hall of fame

Regional arm of Singapore Airlines joins its parent company in TTG Publishing’s distinguished few.

SilkAir, the regional wing of Singapore Airlines, has been inducted into TTG Asia’s Travel Awards Hall of Fame at the 21st Travel Awards 2010.

TTG Asia’s Travel Hall of Fame honours those organizations that have won the TTG Travel Awards at least 10 times. SilkAir’s induction into the Hall of Fame follows its 10th successive win in the TTG Travel Awards last year. The airline has been voted ‘Best Regional Airline’ in the annual Travel Awards for 10 years, between 1995 and 2009, according to a SilkAir report.

There are already six Travel Hall of Fame honoraries including Singapore Airlines and Singapore Changi Airport. Companies which have been conferred this prestigious Travel Hall of Fame title will no longer compete in subsequent awards; instead TTG will continue to commemorate their achievements annually.

Commenting on the induction, SilkAir’s Chief Executive, Mr Chin Yau Seng, said: “SilkAir is honoured to be inducted into the Travel Awards Hall of Fame, joining our parent company, Singapore Airlines, which was inducted in 2002. This award would not have been possible without the support of our loyal customers and industry partners, to whom we are very grateful. They have our assurance that we will continue to strive to exceed their expectations.”

The annual TTG Travel Awards, presented by TTG Publishing, seeks to honour the luminaries in Asia-Pacific’s travel industry. The TTG Travel Awards 2010 recognizes the best in Asia’s hospitality, tourism, services and travel industries by offering awards across four categories: airlines, hotels, spas and travel agents. Winners in these categories are determined by votes cast by TTG readers across Asia Pacific.
