Like it or not, most event planners have to incorporate airline travel, and thus airport logistics, into their event planning process. How else would you get your delegates to their destination? Not everybody can drive due to distances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vancouver_Has_Been_Ranked_the_Number_One_Airport_in_North_America\"><\/span>Vancouver Has Been Ranked the Number One Airport in North America<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Congratulations Vancouver!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Skytrax\u2019s 2013 Airport awards, Vancouver enjoys the number one position for North America. And on top of that, it ranks eighth in the world. Not too shabby. Interestingly, Vancouver was the only airport in North America to make the top 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The awards are ranked by the travelers that utilize them. For the 2013 awards, there were over 12 million submissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vancouver hosted the 2010 Winter Olympics. This, of course, would have an impact on improvements that the Vancouver Airport has seen in recent years. Infrastructure spending is a major win-win whenever any city is awarded the pleasure of hosting an Olympic Games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Event_Planning_and_Airports_Go_Hand_in_Hand\"><\/span>Event Planning and Airports Go Hand in Hand<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Airports and airline travel are a main component on most event planning checklists. It can also be a frustrating process due to the fact that there are so many outside factors occurring beyond the event planner\u201ds control. Weather is a major factor. And it\u2019s not only the weather where the event is occurring. An event planner is also expected to keep on top of weather in many cities as their delegates are departing from multiple cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20201031152340im_\/http:\/\/mastertheevent.com\/images\/2013\/04\/airport-meet-and-greet.jpg\" alt=\"airport meet and greet\" class=\"wp-image-9945\" title=\"airport meet and greet\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>There can also be many suppliers to deal with regarding transportation. Many event planners want meet and greet personnel on hand to greet their meeting\u2019s delegates upon arrival and take them to prearranged transportation (yes another supplier). And then the ground transportation companies, in addition to watching the arrivals and departures, also have to pay attention to any potential issues which may affect their vehicles getting to and from the airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just a sample of the logistics involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Areas_that_an_event_planner_considers_to_make_an_airport_event_friendly\"><\/span>Areas that an event planner considers to make an airport event friendly:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>the number of airlines servicing the airport<\/li><li>if the airport is a hub (or will the majority of delegates be required to have connecting flights)<\/li><li>\u201cmeet and greet\u201d designated areas<\/li><li>prearranged transportation logistics<\/li><li>distance the airport is from the major downtown hotels<\/li><li>cost of travel to the major downtown hotels<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Thoughts\"><\/span>Final Thoughts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Event planners know airports like the back of their hands. After all coming into, and leaving from, airports is a common component of most meetings and events. Vancouver, Canada has been awarded the number one Airport in North America.
