Emirates SkyCargo has announced that it picked up the top prize of Air Cargo Carrier of the Year at the recent 2010 Supply Chain Asia Logistics Awards, which took place at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.

The group was rewarded for the benefits that it brings to customers' supply chains by providing innovative solutions, while improving service and containing costs.

'This award is testament to the hard work, talent and dedication of everyone at Emirates SkyCargo,' said Ram Menen, Emirates' divisional senior vice-president cargo. It is particularly pleasing to win an award with such diverse criteria, with the decision based not only on the size of our network, but also on the reliability of service, level of customer satisfaction, approach to sustainability, CSR, security and risk management.

'Emirates SkyCargo is honoured to win the Air Cargo Carrier of the Year award and remains committed to surpassing the high standards we have set and providing our customers with a world-class service,' he added.

The award marked the third handed to Emirates SkyCargo in recent times, with the group also picking up the Cargo Operator of the Year (commercial airline) at the fourth annual Aviation Business Awards in Abu Dhabi, as well as the Best Carrier Italy in the 'all services' and 'flown as booked' categories at the Italian Quality Awards 2009 in Milan.
