UK Parliamentary Under-Secretary Visits Emirates Group Security

DUBAI - British Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Security and Counter-Terrorism, Admiral The Lord West of Spithead, accompanied by the Consul General Guy Warrington, visited Emirates Group Security headquarters in recognition of the close cooperation and assistance in border enforcement and 
aviation security.

The visitors were also briefed on Transguard Group and its roles in the support of Group Security’s mission. They toured the purpose-built headquarters for Emirates Group Security and its Transguard business divisions – a one-stop centre designed to efficiently and securely handle valuables for commercial and international shipping. Special focus was placed on strengthening the barriers in aviation security through Emirates’ in-house security education programme.

Dr Abdulla Al Hashimi, Divisional Senior Vice-President Emirates Group Security, said: “The role played by airlines in border control and aviation security is increasingly important and the visit by the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Security and Counter-Terrorism reflects this.”

“The development of a strong relationship between industry and states allow for airlines to develop a greater integrated approach to border control and aviation security which facilitates passengers better,” added Al 
Hashimi.
