Other awardees on the occasion are Aero Contractors, which clinched the Maintenance, Repair Organisation (MRO) Special Achievement Award; Med-View Airlines as the most Outstanding Indigenous Regional Carrier; Arik Air, the Best Air Crew of the Year Domestic Route and Dana Air’s CEO, Mr. Jacky Hathiramani as the Best CEO of the Year.
Also while presenting the Administrator of the Year Award to Williams in Lagos, the Editor-in-Chief/Chief Executive Officer of National Crimewatch magazine, Mr. Tony Okpe, said he distinguished himself by running MM2 terminal that gives passengers who travel through it the best experience, adding that the award was a way of encouraging him to sustain the tempo.
Williams expressed gratitude to the magazine and promised that he would continue to improve on the operations of MMA2. 
While dedicating the award to his management and staff, Williams said MMA2 had survived thus far despite all the challenges it is facing because of the dedication of his team, assuring Nigerians and other patrons of the terminal of the best services at all times.
