Cathay Cargo has been recognised by DHL as one of the industry leaders in the transport of temperature-sensitive life sciences products.

Cathay Cargo, along with a select few others, was awarded the 2018 Carrier Award for Reliability and Excellence (CARE) at the 18th Life Science and Healthcare Conference held at Lake Maggiore, Italy in June.

"These are life-saving products, and customers are increasingly demanding faster delivery with a higher level of transparency at the same time,” said Scott Allison, DHL President, Life Sciences & Healthcare. “The volume of products is also on the rise, thanks to the growing online pharmaceutical business. Air freight carriers see these challenges as opportunities, responding with increased investments to improve both the quality and visibility of transport.”

Ray Jewell, Regional Manager Cargo Europe said: “This DHL Care award means a lot to the Cathay Cargo team worldwide as it comes from a demanding customer, with highly professional and competent people. It is especially gratifying for those people in our team in Hong Kong, Europe, and throughout the network who have put a great deal of effort into making our Pharma product a leader in the industry. Thanks to DHL for the recognition shown to Cathay Cargo through this award.”
