The STAT Times International Award for Excellence in Air Cargo recognises carriers that have made immense progress and introduced innovations in the air freight industry while investing in and enhancing customer experience. The winners were selected through a two-tier process via an online voting system by the readers of STAT Times.
“We will continue to seek new opportunities to grow our business and invest in our network, fleet and products, offering our customers unmatched quality,” said Peter Penseel, senior vice president (Cargo Sales and Network Planning), while receiving the award on behalf of Qatar Airways Cargo.
