Bahrain Airport Services' (BAS) Cargo operations in Bahrain Airport has successfully passed the RA3 (Regulated agent for 3rd world countries) recertification audit.

The RA3 is a mandatory requirement mandated by European Union for all ground handlers outside the EU. This is the 3rd recertification audit which BAS has successfully achieved.
 
The certification – granted by EU-approved and trained validators – confirms the procedures BAS implements are compliant with EU-requirements. RA3 certification ensures the smooth transport of cargo to European Union destinations, improving efficiency and the flow of goods from Kingdom of Bahrain to the rest of the World.
“Last year BAS supported the transport of more than 125,000 tonnes of freight per year. With the RA3 certification, our customers can be confident their goods will arrive smoothly and securely at destinations throughout Europe,” said Mohamed Khalil, BAS’s CEO.
 
“We work closely with our partners to ensure our services meet and exceed international standards.”
With the RA3 certification, EU-member states recognise BAS’s operations as a regulated agent, and security controls applied on its Cargo services are of a standard acceptable to EU authorities. For customers it means goods travelling to EU states are considered secure.
 
The RA3 certification complements the global air cargo industry’s drive to meet the European Union’s ACC3 requirements.
ACC3 is short for ‘Air Cargo or Mail Carrier operating into the Union from a Third Country Airport’ a designation required in order for carrier to fly into the EU with cargo.-- TradeArabia News Service
