Emirates SkyCargo Wins Best Air Cargo Carrier Middle East Award

Emirates SkyCargo has won the 'Best Air Cargo Carrier Middle East' award for the 18th consecutive year at the annual Asian Freight and Supply Chain Awards (AFSCA.)

Emirates Skycargo was named the ‘Best Air Cargo Carrier Middle East’ in recognition of its continued leadership and innovations in its regional air logistics. Michael Qu, Emirates’ cargo manager China said: “To win this prestigious award for 18 years in a row is a great honour and a powerful endorsement of our focus and dedication to providing the highest levels of service.”

He added: “The Asian region, China in particular, is a key market for Emirates SkyCargo and remains an area of huge trading potential. With our network continually growing and fleet expanding, we can support growing Chinese customers with enhanced levels of connectivity, flexibility, reliability, as well as provide them with tailored products and services to the Middle East and onwards, especially to Africa.”

Bilateral trade between China and Africa grew from $160 billion in 2011 to $198.4 billion in 2012, in addition to a great rise of Chinese investment in Africa. China has become Africa’s largest trading partner, according to the Chinese Ministry of Commerce. Emirates SkyCargo offers over 1,300 tonnes total weekly capacity from Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, including five weekly freighter services from Shanghai and daily belly-hold services from all three cities. Emirates SkyCargo’s China gateways can be easily connected to South America via its world-class and technologically-advanced Cargo Mega Terminal in Dubai.
