The aviation industry gathered under the magnificent arches of the Natural History Museum in central London to celebrate the fifteenth annual European Aviation 100 Awards, hosted by Airline Economics and proudly sponsored by KPMG. The prestigious event honoured the most outstanding performers in the European commercial aviation sector over the past year.
The European Aviation 100 Awards are a hallmark of excellence, recognising companies and individuals who have demonstrated exceptional leadership, innovation, and performance across the aviation value chain.
Winners are selected through a rigorous process that combines an industry-wide survey, editorial analysis by the Airline Economics team, and peer nominations. The survey invites aviation professionals to vote for the best-performing airline, lessor, MRO, bank, and law firm operating in the region during the 12 months to the end of August 2025. It also calls for nominations for the most influential CEO/Industry Leader and CFO/Treasury Team in Europe.
This year’s winners include:
In addition to the company and leadership awards, the Aviation 100 European Deals of the Year were selected by the Airline Economics editorial board from a pool of nominated transactions, recognising the most impactful and innovative deals that shaped the industry landscape. Full details of all of these awards will featured in the next issue of Airline Economics https://www.aviationnews-online.com/airline-economics .
The European Aviation 100 Awards continue to serve as a vital platform for celebrating excellence and fostering collaboration across the aviation ecosystem. As the industry evolves, these awards shine a spotlight on those driving progress and setting new standards.
