Emirates Sky Cargo, the freight division of Emirates, has been named Air Cargo Carrier of the Year, at the 2012 Global Freight Awards held in London. The awards, formerly known as the IFW (International Freighting Weekly) Awards, recognise excellence in the freight and logistics industry.
This is the sixth time that Emirates Sky Cargo has won the award, having previously received the honour in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2008 and 2010. Emirates Sky Cargo beat off competition from five other carriers, namely British Airways World Cargo, Cargolux, Lufthansa Cargo, Air France/KLM Cargo and Virgin Atlantic Cargo.
The Air Cargo Carrier of the Year is a reader-voted category award in which Lloyds Loading List.com invites shippers and freight forwarders from around the globe to cast their vote and select those carriers and operators which, over the past year, in their opinion had provided the best quality service.
Emirates Sky Cargo is located on the first floor at MIA Departures and can be contacted on tel. 2166 0102, or at skycargomla@emirates.com.
