In 1989, the APC launched the Man of the Year Award/Woman of the Year Award, to reward a person who performed a remarkable job in the industry, in Belgium or Luxembourg, over the former year and at the same time contributed to 'smooth' communications with the press. The award can also go to a communications manager who excelled in maintaining good contacts with journalists.
The Man of the Year/Woman of the Year is selected by the APC's members after an intensive consultative and voting process.
The Awards ceremony is the yearly get-together of the industry, its spokespersons and aviation journalists.
