“The addition of the ‘Best Green Airline’ award to our collection is a boost for our commitment towards environmental awareness,” Mr. Coimbra notes. “It not only gives us a competitive advantage, but also recognizes our high service excellence.”
“We are proud to be honored tonight by the peers in our industry,” says Richard Forson, Cargolux President & CEO. “Environmental awareness is an integral part of Cargolux’s corporate culture. We are proud to lead the way once more and hope to encourage others in this industry to follow. Our customers are well aware of our environmental efforts and appreciate our way of doing business.”
