8TH PAYLOAD ASIA AWARDS 2021
FOREWORD Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 8th Payload Asia Awards. It is a great honour to host this event and to organise this timely occasion to celebrate the best and brightest in air cargo and logistics. In 2020 we saw the world come to a standstill and amidst the worst crisis seen in decades, we saw how air cargo resiliently played a critical role to reconnect supply chains and deliver the goods where they needed to be. From your favourite cargo handler to your most reliable air freight agent, the Payload Asia Awards recognises the most outstanding in the business and those setting new benchmarks in today’s ever changing and connected markets. We would like to thank all the companies who have submitted their entries. We also want to thank jury members for their utmost support to the awards, as well as to the speakers who have made this event more interesting. Our appreciation also goes out to our readers who have cast their votes online. The awards would not be possible if not for industry wanting to recognise the many hardworking and dedicated companies and staff, many of whom have gone beyond the call of duty to keep supply chains moving in this pandemic and travel lockdown. Finally, we want to thank our sponsors for believing in what we do and for sharing the resources to make this event a success. We now wish to congratulate all the winners of the 8th Payload Asia Awards who have been recognised by peers and colleagues alike. We applaud all the individuals and their companies for their work and dedication to keep the air cargo logistics and supply chain running.
“Air cargo resiliently played its purpose to reconnect supply chains and deliver the goods where they needed to be.”
Mr. Lee Keen Whye
Chairman, Payload Asia Awards
