2019 Award Winner
“During the award ceremony in Budapest, we have witnessed a group of industry leaders that is eager to innovate. The award under CHAMP sponsorship has allowed us to bring the box to a higher level and with Astral Aviation, we are working on a hybrid model that serves humanitarian and business interests at the same time.
Our team is committed to social inclusion and sustainability and is happy that TIACA has put this firmly on the agenda. The appointment of Mrs. Hourcade as Transition Director by the TIACA board fuels the trust that the cargo industry is getting ready for a whole new era. We encourage fresh participants to approach the issue focused and open minded.
If appreciated, you will find yourself in a community that can move mountains. The current COVID-19 situation has made the general public, once again, more aware of the vitality of global air transportation networks.”
