‘Innovative Spirit and Outstanding Leadership’ – Coyne Airways CEO & Founder Larry Coyne Inducted into TIACA Hall of Fame

At the TIACA (The International Air Cargo Association) Air Cargo Forum in Miami from 8th-11th of November, Larry was awarded for his long-standing innovation and success in the air cargo industry. 

The association acts as a representative body for all parts of the industry and organises international events for businesses and individuals working within it. 

Speaking to Larry’s achievements, A TIACA spokesperson said: 

“Larry Coyne, well known in our industry, not just for establishing Coyne Airways and providing cargo charter flights to the fast-developing CIS countries, but also for a strong reputation for providing reliable and secure scheduled cargo services to some of the world’s most difficult to reach destinations, pioneering routes into the Caucases (Central Asia), as well as Afghanistan, Iraq as well as the oil-and-gas rich Sakhalin Island (Russia). Today’s services have expanded to include Africa, the Gulf and the Caspain regions.” 

Upon receiving the award, Larry told the forum:  

“I am very honoured to be joining the Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame was created to recognize those that make significant change in the industry, and I am humbled to be considered among the many industry leaders.” 

Larry established Coyne Airways in 1994 as a non-asset-based cargo airline. Coyne Airways pioneered charter services to the Caspian region, and quickly developed a reputation as a reliable and flexible air freight service provider. It forged out a niche in the industry for reaching challenging destinations and moving goods with stringent transportation requirements. During the Covid-19 pandemic, Coyne Airways successfully established a temperature-controlled service delivering AstraZeneca vaccines to Yerevan, Armenia.  

Since 1994, Coyne Airways has moved around 250,000 tons of cargo and generated over $1 Billion in sales.
