dnata, a leading global air and travel services provider, has received the International Air Transport Association’s (IATA) Corporate Certification for competency-based training and assessment (CBTA) for Dangerous Goods.
The achievement is a result of dnata’s consistent investment in people, training and process improvement across its airport operations businesses. The company’s recent initiatives include the launch of a dedicated dangerous goods working group. This global team conducted an 18-month wholesale review of how dnata assesses and delivers all dangerous goods training requirements, to comply with IATA’s framework approach. The solutions were implemented in January 2023, ensuring consistent quality and competency throughout dnata’s global operations.
dnata’s businesses underwent a formal and comprehensive audit process by IATA between March and August 2023, covering all aspects of its Training Management Systems and the delivery of the Dangerous Goods CBTA programme.
dnata’s participation in the programme provides a guarantee of quality to customers, while reducing additional auditing and training requirements and development costs.
In recent years, dnata has significantly invested in its operations to further enhance safety and improve efficiency in the handling of dangerous goods. In 2021, it became the first global air services provider to adopt IATA’s Dangerous Goods Autocheck (DG Autocheck) platform for the acceptance of dangerous goods shipments, said a release.
