DHL and Emirates sign security MoU
Emirates and DHL have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish an airfreight security partnership in the Middle East. Through this partnership, Emirates Group Security and DHL Express will strengthen their collaboration in air cargo security, share best practices and information on security threats, and promote joint training and educational activities.
The alliance was acknowledged when the jointly signed MOU was presented to HH Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al-Maktoum, chairman and chief executive of Emirates Airline and Group.
Dr. Abdulla Al Hashimi, divisional senior vice president of Emirates Group Security, said: “The Emirates Group has always been committed to strengthening security throughout the supply chain. This is another programme which embodies the symbiotic relationship between stakeholders in the cargo industry.”
“DHL views this partnership with Emirates as a significant step towards fostering deeper cooperation in the field of security. Jointly our efforts will build a more robust security infrastructure for our respective businesses,” said Garry Kemp, managing director, DHL Express Middle East, North Africa and Turkey. “Enhanced security standards in the UAE will also build stronger consumer confidence in the air cargo sector.”
