Introduction

Aviation security is going through dynamic change. Right up to Sep 11, it was seen, at best, as a necessary inconvenience. Now however, aviation security has become an integral, fundamental and indispensable component of the aviation industry. The threats to the aviation industry have also changed. Hijackings of old pale to the destruction and devastation that Sep 11 showed us.  

EGS   Firmly Established
If the threats have changed, then so has the management of these threats. It is no longer adequate to merely rely on simple access control system and assume that security has been enforced.   Security now has to be technical as well as tactical. With more than 20 years of experience ,   Emirates Group Security (EGS) is fully equipped   and  quick to adapt   to   the   prevailing   situation.    Together with    its   guarding division   - Transguard,   EGS provides   a   whole spectrum of    Aviation Security   (AVSEC)   specific and   general   services   to EKFC.   

Training   and Establishment
Building its strong foundation   in    recruitment   and training,   EGS   puts all   its personnel   through   the AVSEC certification   course   which   is   recognized   by   GCAA (General Civil Aviation   Authority ) of   UAE and   Edith Cowan University of   Perth Australia.

Outfitted with a full fledge training   unit within   its set-up,   apart from being   an approved   GCAA training set-up ,   it   also boasts the highest number in ICAO certified    Trainers   and Professional   Managers.

Range of Services

With skilled security professionals,     EGS’ specialized focus in aviation security has enabled the organization to become a world leader in this field.   Involving itself   at the planning stage, EGS is instrumental in assisting    EKFC in revamping its   security   structure, policy and   security equipment investment   in a    cost   effective fashion   to   best address    the prevailing security concerns .
