This year 10 awards are spread across eight countries. Bulgaria and Germany (both with two) are the only multiple winners, with France, Iceland, Russia, Spain, Turkey and UK all generating the remaining winners.

Chris Harcombe, head of aviation development at Doncaster Sheffield Airport, said: “Winning this European industry award is fantastic news for DSA. Our passenger growth is something to celebrate and our team has worked hard to achieve this.

“It is great to see so many people supporting our development by choosing to fly local with over 40 routes to choose from and improved access to the airport thanks to the motorway link road opening.

“Early last year we announced a new partnership with Flybe which has brought more low cost flights to the airport and provided access to European hubs including Amsterdam, Berlin, Dublin and Paris and popular leisure routes including Alicante, Malaga, Faro and Palma.
