Arabian Airlines gains IATA security certification

JEDDAH-BASED Arabian Airlines was granted security certification recently.



The carrier was said to be one of the best in terms of safety and security measures among 43 international airlines that attempted to gain the certification, a company news release said.



The Saudi Arabian national carrier earned a 100-per cent safety ranking.



Arabian Airline explained that it passed the safety and security examination of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) in different fields, including security, technical issues, supervision operations, customer service, catering, human resources, cargo handling and sales. "Only two international airlines succeeded in the security certification programme in the very first attempt," said an official from Arabian's supervision office in Jeddah.
