Montgomery, AL – Montgomery Regional Airport (MGM) has again earned national recognition for marketing excellence, being named a finalist in two new categories for Airports Council International–North America’s (ACI-NA) 2025 Excellence in Airport Marketing, Communications & Customer Experience Awards.
This year marks MGM’s first-ever submission in the Best Radio Advertising category, highlighting the airport’s creative audio messaging designed to encourage travelers to “Stop Double Tripping” — choosing the convenience of flying local rather than driving long distances to larger airports.
MGM is also honored to be recognized as a finalist in the Marketing Programs – Small Airports category. The airport’s ongoing Double Tripping campaign has played a major role in this achievement — reinforcing the message that passengers can save time, money, and stress by taking advantage of convenient local options at MGM. Through multi-channel storytelling, partnerships, and strong community engagement, the campaign has helped increase brand awareness and strengthen regional loyalty.
These honors build on MGM’s strong performance last year, when the airport won the Best Airport Newsletter award and was recognized as a finalist in the Best Video & Production category — further showcasing MGM’s dedication to high-quality, audience-centered communications and creative excellence.
“Being recognized alongside airports of this caliber is a powerful affirmation of MGM’s growth and impact,” said Brittney Jones-Dabney, Communications & Marketing Manager at MGM. “Our team is intentionally shaping a brand that reflects the convenience, innovation, and welcoming spirit travelers experience when they choose to fly local. These distinctions underscore that even as a small airport, our voice, vision, and results are making a big impression nationwide.”
ACI-NA’s Excellence Awards highlight the most innovative and results-driven airport marketing strategies across North America.
