Aviation Security

Sabre currently manages the security at Alnajaf Alashraf International Airport. Sabre has been the incumbent aviation security provider since January 2009, being instrumental in the development of the airport from a small joint arrivals/departures building receiving three flights daily up to present, a large split terminal, apron extension and up to 40 flights a day during the annual festivals season. The whole ethos is one of effective security that enables the airport to develop into the regional hub that it aspires to be. The key principle is seeing security as an enabler rather than the end in itself. We work with all the airport authorities and agencies to make improvements wherever possible, often far removed from the core business of security. Since taking over the contract, Sabre has processed over one million departing passengers through the terminal. Peak times such as the Hajj and other religious festivals, Arafa, Ashura, Arbaeen etc, have been handled with efficiency and cultural sensitivity. The terminal does not appear any different to similar facilities in other international and key domestic airports worldwide. Normality is a key consideration, while not compromising standards. All aviation security staff are ICAO qualified and appropriately certified. Indeed, there are more guns in the Terminals at Heathrow or Frankfurt than there are in Najaf.

As part of Sabre's commitment to being more than just the security provider, we have been instrumental in enabling major airlines come to Najaf, in order to investigate the feasibility of commencing scheduled services into the airport. Most recently we worked with both Qatar Air and representatives from the Swedish Civil Aviation Authority to achieve just this result. Many Middle Eastern countries are served by Najaf plus Turkish Airlines who fly direct from Istanbul three times weekly, which will increase to five flights at the beginning of 2013. Najaf. Sabre's presence is viewed as reassuring by those authorities which need to grant clearance to operate.

Sabre is committed to capacity building for Iraq. The majority of the staff on duty both inside and outside the Terminal are Iraqi. They have been fully trained and qualified by UK DFT certified trainers and operate under fully qualified expatriate supervision. This includes a dedicated Explosive Detection Dog detachment and Access control Office, responsible for the production of airport ID.

In summary Sabre operates as an aviation security provider in a way that maintains and improves the standard of security, and also helps with the development of all aspects of business associated with the Airport.
