AirAsia gets world's best cargo industry newcomer award

Sathis Manoharen, Regional Head of Cargo, AirAsia, said, "This award signifies the growing confidence and belief in the AirAsia cargo product and service. Having industry peers and shippers giving us this recognition is certainly a boost to us as we steadily grow our footprint in the cargo market. With the recent introduction of the web-based cargo booking and tracing system, we hope to grow from strength to strength in our service offering and continue to provide value opportunities to our clients."

The award was given by Air Cargo Week, a respected UK-based publisher of a weekly newspaper for the air cargo industry. The awarding ceremony was held during the Air Cargo China 2010 global exhibition and conference, which attracted air cargo professionals from around the world.

AirAsia won the award after emerging first in a global survey that polled industry peers and shippers.
