UAE Conducts Aviation Security Course

Emirates has hosted an aviation security course for professionals in the field, continuing its drive to establish Dubai as a center for aviation security training in the Middle East.The new Centre of Aviation and Security Studies (CASS), run by Emirates' Group Security Department, conducted the five-day course at the Emirates Aviation College. Nearly 40 security and aviation security professionals attended the course which dealt with challenges in aviation security management, plus the latest threats against civil aviation. Emirates' Group Security Divisional Senior Vice President, Dr Abdulla Al Hashimi, said “the course allows participants to revisit traditional methods in the management of aviation security and examine their relevancy in the current environment. In the not so distant future, more courses and seminars similar to this will be organized through Group Security's initiative in Dubai.” As this is a university training program, the participants earned credit points for the diploma program in aviation security management.
