Hassan El-Houry, Group CEO, NAS, said, “It’s always great to see NAS recognized for safety in the area of ground operations. This is the fifth time we have received the ISAGO recognition and it is even more significant because we managed the audit in between a global pandemic and airport closures. This posed several challenges, but we managed to sail through with adaptability and resilience. Despite the difficulties, we continued to persevere and serve the industry to drive its full potential and kept essential supply chains across our network flowing uninterrupted.”
NAS is present in more than 50 airports across the Middle East, Asia, and Africa and offers an expanded portfolio of aviation services that include lounge management, innovative technology solutions, travel solutions and training.
