SolitAir, the UAE’s next-generation dedicated B2B airport-to-airport cargo airline, has appointed Dubai-based Aviation Training Center (ATC) as its preferred training services provider for dangerous goods (DG).
The appointment is aimed at strengthening SolitAir’s expanding workforce by equipping its team with updated approaches, techniques, and competencies in the handling and transport of dangerous goods.
Dangerous goods (DG) represent a commercially important yet highly regulated category of air cargo, requiring strict compliance with international safety standards. The initiative is intended to enhance operational capability and ensure the safe and compliant movement of such sensitive shipments across the company’s logistics network.
The collaboration marks an important step toward strengthening the UAE’s aviation ecosystem, supporting its position as a global hub for safe, efficient, and innovative air cargo operations.

“The revised requirements enforced by IATA changes underline the need for rigorous, current-edition training across airline operations teams. Through this partnership, SolitAir will ensure our teams remain fully current with these evolving standards, further strengthening the safety, operational excellence, and workforce capability already underpinning our DG operations (categories 1-9), which span lithium batteries, flammable liquids, and other hazardous materials across our expanding network.”
The transport of dangerous goods by air is governed by a strict, IATA-enforced framework of compliance obligations, revised annually to reflect emerging risks and evolving cargo profiles.
The 67th edition of the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations, mandatory from 1 January 2026, introduced significant updates across lithium battery shipment requirements, revised state variations, and standardized operator variation wording.
Commenting on the partnership, Neeraj Arora, CEO of ATC Dubai, said that, “Our collaboration with SolitAir underscores our commitment to delivering world-class training solutions that support the evolving needs of the aviation industry. Together, we aim to reinforce safety standards and empower aviation professionals with the competencies required in today’s dynamic operating environment.”
