Vote for the best of 36 S16 Fire Truck Water Arches – get voting now

The wettest aircraft in Europe? Blue Air planes have been doused in route launch ceremonial water on seven different occasions in this public vote week of competition. But will one of the airports celebrating the arrival of the Romanian LCC secure the votes it needs to win the title? Get voting now to make sure.

Unless you have been transfixed to the 2016 ICC World Twenty20, (like many of anna.aero’s data elves) for the past few weeks, most of you will know that this week marks the start of S16 ‒ see our detailed analysis here. The beginning of the summer season sees a lot of the world’s airports splashing the route launch cash ‒ and that also means lots of new route cakes ‒ see our Cake of the Week vote here. But it also means a lot of Fire Truck Water Arches (FTWAs). So we are giving you, the reader, the chance to select the best of 36 FTWAs we have been sent this week from airports in Africa, Asia, Australasia, Europe (27 from this region alone!) and the Middle East. The victorious airport will have the accolade of winning a peer-endorsed, reader vote for the prestigious ‘Arch of Triumph’ award rather than what we do in a ‘normal week’ when anna.aero’s four elite water arch judges decide. N.B. The airport names which are underlined are the creators of the FTWAs in question. Keep voting!!
