GLOBAL express service provider, DHL Express has won the award for Best Logistics Service Provider - Express at the 2020 Asian Freight, Logistics and Supply Chain (AFLAS) Awards ceremony held recently in Hong Kong.
Ken Lee, CEO, DHL Express Asia Pacific commented: "This is the 31st time that DHL Express is awarded as Best Logistics Service Provider - Express, and it demonstrates our continued drive to innovate and improve for our customers."
The award comes amid an exceptionally challenging period for the logistics industry, with belly capacity for international air cargo shrinking by roughly 60 per cent compared to the previous year, according to September 2020 data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
However, DHL Express' focus on its core logistics business and investments in digital transformation has enabled the organisation to continue delivering industry-leading service to its customers. In the third quarter, DHL Express registered a record operating profit of EUR753 million (US$891 million) driven by a 15.8 per cent growth in its time-definite international express shipments.
The AFLAS Awards is organized by Asia Cargo News to honour companies in the logistics industry that exemplify excellence in leadership, as well as consistency in service quality, innovation, customer relationship management and reliability.
