In what was a suitably sparkling finale to ISPY2016, the week-long event finished with a bang tonight, crowning this year’s award winners for the 15^th anniversary ISPY event.

 

It was an emotional evening for the event organisers who announced a three-year hiatus – they believe the next global ISPY event will take place in 2019 – to focus on region-specific events.

 

While the world’s greatest selling cabin crew continue to celebrate with live music from Soul Beat provided by TRBusiness Rocks ISPY, we are pleased to announce that the winners of the ISPY2016 awards were:
