Owned by the Emirates Group, the facility provides inflight catering services daily to over 100 airlines, including Emirates, that fly into Dubai International Airport.

Haroon Siddiqui, Executive Vice President & Chief Executive Officer, said: 'Occupational Health & Safety is an integral part of managing any business as its people are the most important asset to protect and nurture.

'Health & Safety management is a core value for Emirates Flight Catering and I am very pleased that we have achieved this five-star rating. Implementing safe working practices means a healthy working environment and a high standard of service for our customers.'

The Five-Star Health & Safety Management System rating, awarded by Canada-based Safety Projects International, verifies systematically 78 inter-related elements, with 300 sub-elements, covering every area of the company, with extensive interviews with staff.

Dr Bill Pomfret, Managing Consultant of Safety Projects International, said: 'I congratulate Emirates Flight Catering for achieving this highly sought-after five-star rating, the first company in the region to receive this rating in the past 14 years.'
