Air BP, a leading global suppliers of aviation fuel products and services, said it has been recognised for ‘its Outstanding Safety Standards and Practices’ by Dubai Airports at a recent industry event held in Dubai, UAE.

The annual Safety and Security Excellence Awards Ceremony recognises those stakeholders and contractors operating within its portfolio that have made an outstanding contribution to safety throughout the year, said Air BP in a statement.

Chris Tabet, the managing director Air BP Middle East and North Africa (Mena), received the awards from Jamal Al Hai, deputy CEO of Dubai Airports.

Over the past two years Air BP has been a major contributor to Dubai Airports’ safety agenda and has championed the airport’s safety marathon programme to help manage airside risks, added the statement.

This year, the company has trained a number of airside drivers at Dubai Airports on safe driving and refuelling related risks, it said.

Speaking on the win, Tabet said: “On behalf of Air BP and all the team based at Dubai International Airport (DBX) I am honoured to accept this award and look forward to continuing our excellent working relationship with Dubai Airports.”

“Since DBX is one of the world’s busiest airports, and as its sole fuel provider, this accolade is particularly sweet,” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
