Dragonair wins top cargo honour at European airport

Dragonair has been named the most efficient airline for intercontinental transportation by Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The airline was named  winner of the airport's Efficient Airline Award Intercontinental 2002 in the Amsterdam Airport Schiphol Awards 2003. Dragonair beats Singapore Airlines and Polar Air Cargo to take the honour.

The award, which is aimed at promoting efficient asset utilisation, recognises Dragonair for its efficiency in cargo handling.

"This is a great achievement for us, especially when you consider the established cargo players we were competing against," said Alan Lai,  Manager Cargo. "The award is deserved recognition for our staff in Amsterdam, and I would like to congratulate them all on their hard work in 2002."

Dragonair launched all-cargo services to Europe in 2000, and operates six flights a week to Amsterdam in the Netherlands.
