Dubai: Etihad Cargo, the freight division of Etihad Airways, has been successful at the Air Cargo Week Awards in Shanghai winning the coveted ‘Cargo Airline of the Year’ award.
This is the second successive year that the airline has won the award, having collected it in Munich in 2015.
The annual awards are voted for by the industry and presented during Air Cargo Europe in Munich or Air Cargo China in Shanghai.
The awards are presented in nine categories ranging from ‘Airfreight Forwarder of the Year’ to ‘Cargo Airline of the Year’.
David Kerr, Senior Vice President of Etihad Cargo, said, “We’re delighted to be recognized by our peers and this is an award that we’re proud to win but it is also testament to a lot of hard work by the Etihad Cargo team during the last year, as we’ve grown the business, added new products and additional destinations to our global network.
“Being voted for by the cargo community means a lot to us and it underlines the approach we’re taking to our customers. We want to take that further during the year ahead and continue to deliver a first class, award-winning service to the different areas of the globe where we operate. We will be continuing to expand and have already added additional aircraft to our fleet in the first part of this year.”
The cargo division of Etihad Airways is continuing a strong performance into 2016.
