EK ACC3

   As silver sails of Dubai’s ancient Dhows recall trading ships that carried international commerce here (lower left on table), Emirates Airline that today leads the world of air cargo becomes the first carrier in the Middle East to achieve validation for the EU Air Cargo or Mail Carrier (ACC3) initiative for operating into EU from a Third Country Airport.
   ACC3 certificate was presented to His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al-Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive Emirates Airline & Group (r center) and to Tim Clark Emirates Airline President (l)
Top security lieutenants at Emirates Group are also in the picture including (l) Joss D Silva, Manager, Security Facilities & Risk Management; Zack Zainal, Divisional Vice President, Group Security; Dr. Abdulla Al Hashimi, Divisional Senior Vice President, Group Security; and Rabie Atie, Vice President, Transguard.
   The esteemed Dr. Al Hashimi made his point:
   “While the ACC3 validation is specifically for carriers with cargo bound for the EU, Emirates Group Security is constantly reviewing processes to ensure that all cargo being transported, including those on passenger aircraft, are effectively screened and free from prohibited items.
   “It is our priority to study and look at how we can further integrate such stringent security standards into a larger worldwide supply chain security system,” Dr. Hashimi assured.


Word From The Kingdom
Nabil Khojah    Word from The Kingdom as top executive Nabil Khojah, CEO of Saudia Cargo declares that change is afoot. The carrier that operates 15 freighters (new B747-8 added last month thrice weekly from Shanghai directly to Europe and KSA) has now embraced full tilt the e-AWB as a major SV initiative during 2014:
   “We have already begun implementing the procedure in selected international gateways and intend to roll this out across our global network during the coming months,” Nabil said.
   “The arrival of the e-AWB will bring many benefits— reduced costs in terms of printing multipage AWBs, improved quality of service through the elimination of errors such as missing documents, greater visibility in terms of track and trace and better overall customer satisfaction.”
