Emirates, the Dubai-based international airline, honored top Maltese SkyCargo agents and customers at an award ceremony held at the palatial ballroom of Palazzo Parisio in Naxxar.
Ram Menen, Emirates Divisional Senior Vice President Cargo presented the prestigious awards to three SkyCargo agents, MAL, BAS Ltd and Thomas Smith Ltd, in recognition of their significant sales performance. ST Microelectronics and De La Rue were also given due recognition by Emirates SkyCargo as best customers.
Mr Menen said: “We thank all cargo agents and customers for their continued support towards sustaining Emirates’ operations in Malta and congratulate those who have received awards. These are challenging yet rewarding times for Emirates SkyCargo, yet we are registering exciting levels of growth across several areas of our business. It is fitting therefore that the agents and customers that are making a valuable contribution are officially recognized. Together, we can provide the very best service possible for Emirates’ clients,” said Mr Menen.
Ms Anthie Anthoniou, Emirates Cargo Manager for Malta and Cyprus said: “Accessibility is essential and, being island with limited natural resources, this is even more so in the case of Malta. Since 1st December 2008, Emirates has been providing a daily service which is tangibly contributing to Malta’s growth in terms of industry, exports, and quality of life.”
She congratulated all the cargo agents and customers present. “You are all valued partners and, thanks to your support, Emirates Airline established an unrivalled reputation for service excellence in Malta.”
Paul Fleri Soler, Emirates Manager for Malta, was also present for the event.
