Saudia Cargo executive director for commercial, Rainer Mueller (pictured above far left) says the award the carrier picked up at the Air Cargo Week World Air Cargo Awards in Munich last week will make it “strive” even harder in the future.

The Saudi Arabian airline won the Air Cargo Industry Achievement Award at the awards, which took place on 10 May at The Westin Hotel and was attended by more than 500 people.

Saudia beat off intense competition to win the accolade from Emirates SkyCargo, United Cargo and Virgin Atlantic Cargo.

Mueller says: “We share this momentous occasion with our customers for their continued trust and confidence on our products and services. This award also goes to every Saudia Cargo employee for their relentless commitment to serve with utmost care and excellence.

“This award also sets precedence for us to strive harder and perform even better as the digitalization trend sets in, changing the face and the pace at which cargo is moved around the world.”

Saudia Cargo is one of the pioneers of using the electronic air waybill (eAWB) and Mueller adds: “It was a busy year for us at Saudia Cargo. We thank our customers for putting their trust to us all these years. We pledge to keep on serving them with utmost care and dedication. Their cargo is in good hands no matter how and where they want it delivered.”
