UAE’s flydubai Cargo certified to transport dangerous goods

The UAE’s flydubai Cargo has received regulatory approvals to transport dangerous goods starting February 1, 2021.

The certification issued by the country’s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), allows it to transport dangerous goods in addition to general cargo, courier, live animals, postal mail, perishables, priority cargo and valuable cargo.

Earlier this year, flydubai Cargo joined the World Logistics Passport (WLP), an initiative established by Dubai to increase trading opportunities between developing markets.

Designed as a points loyalty scheme, the initiative has been set up to incentivise companies and traders to use Dubai’s world-leading logistics facilities in return for cost and time savings and enhanced customs clearances.

“The role that air cargo plays in the supply chain industry has been especially highlighted during the pandemic to ensure vital goods continue to be transported to where they are needed the most,” said Mohamed Hassan, vice president of Cargo at flydubai.

“We continue to invest in the latest technologies and look at opportunities to grow flydubai’s capabilities and reach.”
