Air Cargo World Announces 2010 Air Cargo Excellence Survey Winners

Winners Honored at the Inaugural Air Cargo Excellence Awards Ceremony in Vancouver

ROSWELL, Georgia, March 10, 2010 - Air Cargo World, the global news authority on air logistics and freight
transport, has unveiled the findings of its sixth annual Air Cargo Excellence
(ACE) Survey, which measures carriers and airports on specific criteria and
ranks them to identify above or below average performance. The findings were
revealed today at the Air Cargo Excellence Awards in Vancouver, marking the
first time the winners have been honored in a public ceremony.

The survey is determined by freight forwarders who rate airlines on
Customer Service, Performance, Value and Information Technology; airports are
rated by airlines on Performance, Value, Facilities and Regulatory
Operations. The survey results for the airlines and airports achieving an
overall rating of 101 and higher are available online at
www.aircargoworld.com/ and will be featured in the April issue of the
monthly magazine, published by UBM Aviation (www.ubmaviation.com/).

The top five airlines were honored with awards, ranging from Diamond to
Bronze, at the March 9, Vancouver awards ceremony. Southwest Airlines
garnered the highest overall airline score, led all airlines in the
Performance and Value categories, and received the evening's highest honor,
the Diamond Award. FedEx Express, which came in second in overall score, was
the recipient of the Platinum Award; and Emirates Sky Cargo came in third and
received the Gold Award. The Silver Award went to Virgin Atlantic and Bronze
to Nippon Cargo Airlines.

Airports rated highest by airlines and forwarders included Memphis in
North America, Amsterdam in Europe, and Seoul Incheon in Asia & Middle East,
in the one-million-or-more tons category. In the half-a-million to million
ton category, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Luxembourg and Tokyo Haneda took the lead in
each of their regions. For the half-a-million and less category, Athens
(Europe) advanced to the top spot from 11th in 2009, and Rockford (North
America) moved into first place, up from seven last year. Nagoya rated
highest overall in Asia & Middle East.

Significant improvements made by airlines from 2009 to 2010, include
Southwest Airlines' jump to first place from 12th, FedEx Express to second
from ninth, Nippon Cargo Airlines to the fifth position from 30th and Japan
Airlines to sixth from 22nd place.

"The Air Cargo Excellence Awards ceremony gave us a great opportunity to
honor the airlines and airports that strive to meet excellence and to exceed
their past performances. The success of this inaugural event proves the
importance and credibility of the Air Cargo Excellent survey, which has
become an important benchmark of airline and airport performance," said Steve
Prince, publisher of Air Cargo World.
