Dec 11, 2020 (newstodate): Honoring a unique contribution to the global air cargo industry, TIACA has selected Larry Coyne, CEO of Coyne Airways and Coyne Aviation, as the association's 2020 Hall of Fame Recipient.
Larry Coyne established Coyne Aviation in 1994, providing cargo charter flights to the fast-developing CIS countries, in particular to Transcaucasia and Central Asia.
Coyne Aviation quickly became the number one cargo carrier to the whole of the CIS from Europe providing reliable and secure scheduled cargo services to some of the world's hardest to reach destinations.
Larry Coyne joined TIACA's Industry Affairs Committee in 1998 and was later elected to serve as Vice Chairman and eventually Chairman of the association where he championed security, liberalization and the growth of air cargo industry.
From the start, Coyne Aviation also stands out by being without any aircraft of its own, remaining without debts - and staying profitable through all its years of operation.
