SATS clinches exclusive deal for ground operations training in 10 Asian countries

It has been accredited by the IATA.

SATS has been awarded International Air Transport Association (IATA) accreditation for Ramp Services training. It is the first firm worldwide to be accredited for ground operations training.

With this recognition, SATS is now an Authorized Training Center (ATC) with exclusive rights to train ground handlers in 10 countries regionally.

The newly accredited programme is scheduled to begin in March 2017. SATS will be the exclusive IATA training provider to ground handlers in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Brunei and Myanmar. It is also a non-exclusive training provider for India.

Separately, SATS has also rolled out Smart Watches into its technical ramp operations.

With the new IoT solution, technical ramp handling personnel can get their work instructions in a more timely and safe manner, boosting efficiency and allowing SATS to reallocate resources for greater productivity.
