Airport EU Validation/Aviation Web Based Training

Mr. Matthias Haxter, Manager of STI´s Training Department, has successfully participated in the IATA EU Aviation Security Validators (EU ACC3) course held in Geneva, Switzerland. This course was one of the first with the goal to qualify the participants – all of whom are cargo security experts – as ACC3 EU Aviation Security Validators.

The EU estimates that about 700 ACC3 stations will require independent EU validation until July 2014. Another 2.700 ACC3 stations, and 2.000 ACC3 Regulated Agents (RA3) and ACC3 Known Consignors (KC3), are expected to follow before July 2019.

Failing to receive this validation has the consequence that the affected airlines will forfeit their ACC3 status resulting in their prohibition to fly air cargo into or through the EU.

"We are very proud to be amongst the first few companies worldwide, to have an ACC3 EU Aviation Security Validator in our midst, and for us to now be in a position where we can truly offer our customers a holistic service by either conducting ACC3 consulting & training measures or ACC3 EU Aviation Security validations", stated STI Managing Director Mr. Ulrich Dünnes.
