A TOOWOOMBA company travelled to China to accept an international business award last night.

Toowoomba Wellcamp Airport (WTB) has won the 2018 AustCham Westpac Australia-China Business Excellence Award in the Construction, Infrastructure and Natural Resources category.

Toowoomba Wellcamp Airport general manager Sara Hales accepted the award on behalf of the airport team at a gala award ceremony in Shanghai last night.

"We are honoured to accept this prestigious award, which recognises our efforts to create direct business opportunities between our region and Asia," Ms Hales said.

"We are very proud of our airport. Its importing and exporting capabilities are growing from strength to strength and creating far reaching international trade opportunities for local and national exporters.

"Cathay Pacific Cargo operates the only international wide-body freight service in Queensland, which runs weekly between Toowoomba and Hong Kong.

"More than $10 billion is currently being invested in various infrastructure projects in our region, so from a national perspective, Toowoomba is fast becoming a major logistics, infrastructure and export hub."
