That's a Fifth for us this year for the REACH program. When I envisioned REACH as a transformative safety program for Etihad Airport Services in December last year, I had a strong belief in its potential for success. This belief was rooted in three key elements: 1. The awesome Team I have, who not only subscribed to my vision, but also went above and beyond to turn it into reality with their dedication, creativity and hard work. 2. Our CEO, Jubran Albreiki, whose unwavering support and trust in this program. He believed in the change REACH could bring and championed it as a cornerstone of our safety strategy, leading it and supporting it all along the way. 3. The incredible people at EAS, whose commitment, collaboration, and day-to-day efforts made REACH the success story it is today. Every employee contributed to creating a culture where safety thrives. These three forces combined to create a program that has revolutionized how we approach safety, improving safety standards and earning global recognition along the way. At the American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP), Kuwait chapter, REACH was honored with : Gold Award for Best HSE Initiative Silver Award for HSE Excellence in Aviation Sector These two awards mark our Fifth this year, following the incredible recognition at the Global Safety Summit in London, where we won three major awards. Not to mention REACH being chosen one of the three finalist at the GHI Conference in Barcelona (though we didn't make it there). This milestone underscores how REACH continues to elevate our safety performance and set new benchmarks. Building on this incredible momentum, I am excited to announce the upcoming launch of REACH 2.0, our Safety Program for 2025. Scheduled for a release in December and full implementation in January 2025. REACH 2.0 builds on the strong foundation of REACH 2024, with a renewed focus on innovation, Safety excellence maturity, resilience and collaboration. Stay tuned for more updates on REACH 2.0 as we continue to elevate safety standards across Etihad Airport Services. #groundhandling #etihadairportservices #EAS #REACH #safetyexcellence #etihad #abudhabiairports

dnata has become the first ground services provider to receive IATA’s prestigious environmental management certification (IEnvA) in Europe. This achievement is a result of our consistent investment in infrastructure, equipment and process improvement at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (AMS). We look forward to even further enhancing environmental efficiency at AMS with our new, advanced cargo facility in 2025. Read more here: https://dnata.global/vlyh6 #wearednata

At the 2024 IATA World Safety and Operations Conference in Marrakech, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) highlighted three critical priorities for the industry: global standards, #safety culture, and the use of data.

✈️Setting the Standard in Aviation: Safety and People-Centric Cultures ✈️ In the aviation industry, safety and employee well-being are not just priorities—they are the foundation of success. Leading aviation companies recognize that operational excellence and a people-first culture go hand in hand. Some of the standout companies that set the bar high in terms of safety, fairness, and employee treatment include: 🚀 Delta Air Lines: Known for its commitment to employee growth, Delta consistently ranks as one of the best places to work. Their emphasis on safety, transparent communication, and just culture empowers employees to speak up and drive continuous improvement. 🚀 Singapore Airlines: A global leader in aviation, Singapore Airlines has built its reputation on safety and operational excellence. At the same time, the airline places strong value on its workforce, ensuring fair treatment and creating an inclusive environment that prioritizes employee development. 🚀 Qatar Airways: With rigorous safety standards and a people-centric approach, Qatar Airways invests heavily in training and developing its employees, ensuring they have the tools and resources to maintain high safety standards while fostering a culture of fairness and respect. 🚀 Southwest Airlines: Renowned for its employee-friendly policies, Southwest Airlines has created a culture of openness, where employee well-being is just as important as operational efficiency. Their just and fair treatment of staff is reflected in their consistently high safety record and customer satisfaction ratings. When companies prioritize safety, fairness, and employee empowerment, they create an environment where innovation thrives, operational standards rise, and employees are motivated to go above and beyond. In aviation, it’s clear: the best companies are the ones that put people first—both passengers and employees. #AviationExcellence #SafetyFirst #PeopleCulture #EmployeeWellBeing #JustCulture #AviationSafety #LeadershipInAviation

Last month, I had the privilege of leading a Safety Strategy Workshop for our leadership team, marking a pivotal milestone in the journey of safety excellence at Etihad Airport Services. The workshop highlighted the success of REACH, our transformative and multiple award winning safety strategy that has reshaped our safety culture, embedded proactive risk management at the core of our operations and has reinforced safety as a core organizational value across EAS. Building on this foundation, we introduced REACH 2.0, our advanced safety framework for 2025, and the workshop served as a platform to refine the deliverables. REACH 2.0, a 10 Pillar program, represents a step forward, incorporating critical drivers such as the Safety Excellence Maturity Assessment (SEMA) to benchmark and enhance safety performance, the Customer-Focused Quality Excellence (CFQE) initiative to align safety with customer expectations, Operational Resilience and Crisis Readiness to ensure preparedness, and the Predictive Risk Intelligence Framework to proactively identify and mitigate risks. These strategic focus areas reflect our commitment to innovation, collaboration, and resilience in further driving safety as a core value. None of this would have been possible without the unwavering dedication and active engagement of our executive team, which I am proudly part of, and the visionary guidance of our CEO, Jubran Albreiki whose contributions have been instrumental in shaping this strategy. Together, we are not just meeting but redefining safety standards in aviation ground handling. #SafetyEnhanced #REACH2.0 #SafetyLeadership #SafetyExcellence #etihadairportservices #eas #groundhandling
