Singapore Airlines Cargo (SIA Cargo) has been voted Best Airfreight Carrier at the inaugural Asia Logistics Awards in Hong Kong.

The award was based on a poll of the readers of Lloyd's Freight Transport Buyer Asia, along with Asia-based readers of International Freighting Weekly and Containerisation International.

The criteria for the independently audited poll included customer service, reliability and product offerings, and covered all airlines with substantial coverage in Asia, not just those based in the region.

Other factors readers were asked to take into account were network size, efficiency of documentation processing and partnership initiatives.

Receiving the award on behalf of Singapore Airlines Cargo at the Asia Logistics Awards dinner in Hong Kong last night, SIA Cargo's Senior Vice-President Sales and Marketing, Mr. Sudheer Raghavan, said "It is a great honour for Singapore Airlines Cargo to receive such an award, especially one that's based on the opinions of the readers of Lloyd's FTB Asia. It reaches many of the key decision makers and opinion leaders in the logistics industry throughout the region."

Earlier this year, Singapore Airlines Cargo won the Best Global Air Cargo Carrier and Best Air Cargo Carrier - Asia awards at the Asian Freight Industry Awards for the ninth year in succession.

Singapore Airlines Cargo, a wholly owned subsidiary of Singapore Airlines, operates to 70 cities in 36 countries across 5 continents, using a fleet of 11 dedicated B747-400 freighters, and the bellyhold capacity of Singapore Airlines' fleet of 94 widebodied passenger aircraft.
