A prestigious award for Lufthansa Cargo: The Global Traveler magazine has hailed the airline as the world’s best cargo carrier. The prize was presented to the company at a gala awards ceremony in Los Angeles last week.

Dr. Andreas Otto, Lufthansa Cargo Board Member Product & Sales, emphasised: “It is a great honour to be chosen as Number One among the world’s cargo carriers and, simultaneously, an incentive for the entire team to continue convincing customers with the highest quality and performance.”

The Global Traveler awards were conferred in 2012 for the ninth year in a row after a survey of the magazine’s readers. The readers, largely decision-makers from diverse industries, cast their votes in a total of 71 categories, among them airlines and hotels.
