OREANDA-NEWS. April 01, 2015. Southwest Airlines® is celebrating being named one of the top air cargo carriers in the world according to Air Cargo World magazine. The publication recently announced the carrier won its highly-coveted Air Cargo Excellence "ACE" Diamond Award in the "up to 399,999 tonnes" category. Southwest Cargo® earned the award based on its Legendary Customer Service, performance, value, and use of technology.

"This award is really about our Employees and Customers," said Matt Buckley, Vice President of Cargo & Charters. "Without our Employees' dedication to operational excellence, we would not have the opportunity to be recognized for our hard work and outstanding performance from our Customers."

This is the 11th year for the Air Cargo Excellence Survey, of which Southwest has been awarded the Diamond or Platinum Award in its respective category for the sixth consecutive time.

"The Air Cargo Excellence Awards are unlike any other industry award in that they are determined by an impartial survey, which means these awards really celebrate the best in the industry," said J.J.
