CATHAY Cargo collected its award for "Cargo Airline of the Year§ at a gala dinner in Istanbul at the 49th Annual Airline Industry Achievement Awards produced by Air Transport World (ATW).

The award pays tribute to Cathay Cargo for overcoming major operational challenges in 2022, as well as for its growth, investment, innovation, and ambition to become the world's most customer-centric air cargo service.

The awards recognise excellence across a broad range of airline operations and are selected by a panel of editors and analysts at ATW, Routes, Aviation Week, and CAPA.

While the award winners were announced earlier this year, the gala dinner enabled representatives from the recognised airlines to collect their awards and celebrate their achievements in person.

Said ATW editor Karen Walker: "The final selections illustrate the strength of the market recovery across the air transport industry, and it is particularly heartening to see that also reflected among airlines in the Asia-Pacific region.§

Said Cathay cargo chief Tom Owen: "We are honoured to be recognised with this major award decided by so many industry experts, and we are very grateful to Air Transport World."
