FRANKFURT Airport and Fraport Cargo Services have received the 2012 Air Cargo Excellence (ACE) Award as Best Cargo Airport in Europe in the one million tonne plus category.
Established in 2005, the ACE Survey is conducted annually by US-based Air Cargo World, a leading international trade magazine.
Since European airports were added to the survey in 2006, FRA has won the ACE Award four times (2006, 2007, 2009, and now again in 2012) and took second place three times (2008, 2010, 2011), said the Fraport statement.
Fraport vice president Roland Weil and Fraport Cargo Services managing director Winfried Hartmann accepted the honour at the recent ACE ceremony in Kuala Lumpur. Handling more than 2.2 million tonnes in 2011, Frankfurt Airport ranks among the world's 10 busiest hubs.
For the ACE Survey, airports are grouped by regional location and sub-grouped by annual tonnage handled. The survey is based upon a rating system that measures four criteria to identify above or below average performance during the previous 12 months with 100 representing the average.
Ahead of the other large European hubs in 2012, Frankfurt scored top marks from airlines by receiving 111 points for performance, 108 for value, 107 for facilities, and 109 for operations.
