Mrs Maxwell, of Antrim, is the first point of contact for many members of the public at the airport and is also part of the Airport Care Team and its charity committee. During her at the airport time she has helped countless troubled travellers, including helping save one baby's life.

She said of the award: ‘It's not just for me, it's for everyone. I consider myself very privileged to work in the environment I'm working in, because you get the opportunity to meet and help people every day.’
