Qatar
Airways Cargo recently received the Global Cargo
Airline of the Year award at a gala in Johannesburg during Air Cargo Africa, a
biennial air freight industry trade exhibition.
“The ‘Three Rs’ approach – which stands for rates,
reliability and relationship – is at the very heart of our business,” Ulrich Ogiermann, chief officer of the cargo division at Qatar Airways, said. “We are grateful and thankful to
our customers who place their trust in our brand and services. Having started
off with three freighters in 2003, we have come a long way to reach the No. 3 position on IATA’s international FTK (freight ton kilometers) ranking
today. This award goes out to each and every employee at Qatar Airways Cargo,
who strives to ensure we live up to our ‘customer first and service
excellence’ motto.”
