Message from the
CHAIRMAN Ladies and gentlemen, it is my great honour to welcome you again to the 10th edition of the Payload Asia Awards. Over the last 3 years, we saw how the air cargo and logistics industry played the crucial role of connecting supply chains and enabling trade across borders. Tonight we celebrate the passion and purpose that has been the driving force in our commitment to operational excellence and quality management, not only within our own teams but also in the collaborations that we have come to be a part of. The 10th edition of the awards is our way of honouring the sense of community that each dedicated professional here tonight has embraced, and in the same vein we continue to push forth with new initiatives to welcome digitalisation and tranformation in our beloved industry Each trophy we hand out today is a reminder of the same passion and purpose in honing our capabilities and paving the path for the next generation of air cargo professionals as they set new benchmarks and break new milestones with sustainability in the forefront. Our appreciation goes out to the esteemed panel of judges for their unwavering support to the awards, as well to the many hardworking teams and individuals who have made the diligent effort to cast their votes online. We also want to thank our sponsors for believing in what we do and for sharing the time resources to make this annual industry tradition a success. Finally, we thank our growing readership and close partnerships who have been a part of Payload Asia’s quest in delivering highly engaged business news for the air cargo and logistics industry.
