São Paulo – Emirates SkyCargo was named best air cargo company of 2010 by British magazine Air Cargo News. This is the sixth time that the company wins the title in its 25 years of existence.
The award was granted during an event in London, at which the Arab company was also named the Middle East’s best air cargo company for the 22nd year in a row. The winners are chosen based on votes by readers.
