Wings for Aid wins Tiaca sustainability award
The first winner of the sustainability award, which is sponsored by Champ Cargosystems, was announced during the gala evening of the Tiaca executive summit 2019 in Budapest (Hungary). The winner, Wings for Aid, received funding of USD 15,000 and the two runners-up won USD 3,500 each. Earlier in the day, the three finalists (M&G Packaging Corp, Nallian and Wings for Aid Foundation) presented their projects for the final selection.
The winner was selected by the jury as well as the attendees of Tiaca’s executive summit, each with a 50% weight. Wings for Aid is a foundation with the aim to “reach people anywhere”. It creates a self-landing cardboard delivery box to bridge the last mile to people in need as a result of humanitarian crises.
“We were very honoured to participate in this nomination and we feel really excited to be part of the air cargo family. This award will help us to take another step and thanks to the network of Tiaca we have found very strong support,” said both representatives of Wings for Aid, Barry Koperberg, general manager and Alexis Roseillier, lead engineer.
