Abu Dhabi Airport is voted Best Cargo Airport

ABU DHABI International Airport has been named the Best Cargo Airport 2010 as it outpaced growth in all the other large cargo airports across the globe that handle more than 300,000 tons of air freight annually.

"It is an honour to have been recognised for the efforts ADAC is making in supporting the growth of our existing and prospective partner airlines in the cargo and freight industry," said Huraiz Al Murr Bin Huraiz, chief commercial officer of Abu Dhabi Airports Company (ADAC).

The award was presented at an award ceremony in London as part of the 27th annual Air Cargo News Award.

Abu Dhabi Airports Company (ADAC) is a public joint-stock company wholly owned by the Abu Dhabi Government. It was incorporated in 2006 to spearhead the development of the Emirate's aviation infrastructure.

Currently under way is the multi-billion dollar redevelopment and expansion of Abu Dhabi International Airport, which is designed to increase the overall capacity of the airport to more than 20 million passengers each year. As part of this redevelopment, a second runway and a third terminal have been completed. A new air traffic control tower is due to be operational in 2010 with the Midfield Terminal Complex development expected to open in 2015, a statement from ADAC said.
