Air bp was singled out for outstanding safety standards and practices by Dubai Airports at the annual Safety and Security Excellence Awards, held in Dubai in December. Says MD Middle East and Africa, Chris Tabet: “On behalf of Air bp and all the team based at Dubai International airport I am honoured to accept this award and look forward to continuing our excellent working relationship with Dubai Airports. Since DBX is one of the world's busiest airports, and as sole fuel provider at this location, this accolade is particularly sweet.”

Over the past two years Air bp has been a major contributor to Dubai Airports' safety agenda and has championed the airport's safety marathon programme to help manage airside risks. This year, Air bp has trained a number of airside drivers at Dubai Airports on safe driving and refuelling-related risks. It also engaged with the leadership team on fuelling risks on the apron.
