Top Shops 2021 Finalists

We’re pleased to announce that nominations for the 2021 Top Shop Awards saw its biggest gain ever. For the first time since the awards inception in 2008, The 145 received 10,127 nominations in just one voting season. That’s nearly three times more than the total number of nominations received in 2019! One repair category alone, best electro-mechanical repair, garnered 1031 votes, which accounted for 10% of all votes casted this year.

 

We want to congratulate this year’s finalists and thank all those who voted in 2020. Next week will begin phase two of the Top Shop selection process where airlines and suppliers will be given the opportunity to vote for their favorite shops. The voting link will be available on The 145 website, but visible only to airlines and suppliers.
