“
We are very proud to have received this award on behalf of Schiphol and the Cargo Community. Cargo transport occupies an important place within Schiphol, and this award is a recognition of our efforts in this area. It also underlines the importance of air cargo globally and, last year, the transport of much-needed vaccines and medical devices. This recognition will also help us continue our efforts to improve processes throughout the air cargo chain, of which digitalisation and therefore efficiency is a major part
