AQABA, Jordan, May 2, 2021/ -- National Aviation Services (NAS) (www.NAS.aero),
the leading airport services provider in the emerging markets has
renewed its contract with the Aqaba Development Corporation (ADC) and
Aqaba Airports Company (AAC) to operate and manage Aqaba Air Cargo
Terminal (AACT) for another 20 years. Aqaba with its strategic location
and status as Jordan’s special economic zone is a regional hub for
trade, tourism and culture. The air cargo terminal, located within the
King Hussein International Airport has been key to Aqaba’s logistics
capabilities since its establishment in 2004.
As the exclusive
cargo services provider, NAS has been the driving force at AACT since
2006, providing world class services including ground operations, cargo
handling, warehousing services, bonded storage, safety and security
services as well as ground equipment. The company introduced an advanced
cargo management system to comprehensively manage every aspect of the
cargo business ranging from pricing, cargo operations and billing to
supply chain management. NAS also invested in the modernization of the
cargo services by automating processes and providing transparency and
tracking services to customers, which greatly supports import and export
in the country.
Hassan El-Houry, Group CEO of NAS said, “We are
excited to renew our contract and serve the Aqaba Air Cargo Terminal for
another 20 years. In the last term, we fulfilled our commitment to the
country by maintaining the highest levels of service with a strong focus
on safety and security while investing into the development and
operations of air cargo services. This helped unlock Aqaba’s air cargo
potential and put Jordan on the global map for trade in line with the
Royal vision to transform Aqaba into a world-class business hub and
leisure destination. We also offered a platform for export growth that
was sustained by His Majesty King Abdullah II’s leadership as a driver
for international trade and job creation. With the renewed agreement we
aim to further enhance the air cargo offering in the country and
introduce new initiatives in the near future.”
In 2020, NAS also
successfully completed the Regulated Agent third country validation
process (RA3) for air cargo operations in Aqaba. This internationally
recognized validation and certification process ensures EU regulatory
compliance for air cargo transportation to EU countries. The validation
demonstrates NAS’s compliance with EU air cargo security regulations and
standards, including access control, cargo screenings, external and
internal audits, among others.
El-Houry highlighted, "Jordan's
economic environment is favorable to foreign investment. With NAS's
investments into Jordan's aviation industry, we also remain committed to
growing the country's economic prosperity in the coming years."
