Emirates SkyCargo has become the first airline to win a prestigious Deutsche Bahn Supplier's Award. Deutsche Bahn AG, one of the leading mobility and logistics companies in Europe, awarded the Dubai-based airline
“Deutsche Bahn Supplier of the Year 2010” in the “Logistics Services” category.
 
Dr. Volker Kefer, DB Board Member Technology and Infrastructure, said: “Emirates SkyCargo receives this award for highly innovative air freight services, and in particular for its flexible scheduling which enables absolutely customer-friendly and generous solutions to be made. Its younger than average fleet is state-of-the-art and allows the carrier to reduce its noise and CO2 emissions to a minimum, thus supporting DB's ambitious goals for green logistics in exemplary fashion.”

Hiran Perera, Emirates’ Senior Vice President Cargo Freighters, who travelled to Germany to receive the accolade, said: “To be recognised as the only airline with a Deutsche Bahn Supplier’s Award – in any category – is a powerful endorsement of our commitment to customer service and quality. Emirates SkyCargo is absolutely thrilled to receive this award.”

With its Supplier's Award, Deutsche Bahn has created an incentive to improve the business relationship between DB AG and its suppliers and to recognize outstanding services.

The awards are presented every two years.
