2013 Awards
Air Cargo Excellence Awards 2013
The Awards are based on the Air Cargo Excellence Survey which is carried out and published annually by Air Cargo World. Established in 2005, the survey measures airlines and airports on specific criteria and ranks them to identify above or below average performance. The survey also shows exactly how airlines and airports are performing against an industry average and specifically highlights areas in need of improvement.
