Etihad Cargo claims air cargo first with logistics training academy
Etihad Cargo has launched what it says is the air cargo industry’s first logistics training academy established by an airline.
The new Etihad Cargo Excellence Hub has been created to deliver consistent operational, safety and compliance standards across the carrier’s global partner network while supporting professional development throughout the air cargo industry.
Designed for Etihad Cargo representatives, partners, customers and air cargo professionals worldwide, the platform offers a structured curriculum covering operational standards, products and services, safety and compliance, alongside industry-certified programmes developed with accredited institutions.
Training is delivered through foundation courses, podcasts, masterclasses and executive education programmes, including a ‘miniMBA’. Participants receive accredited certifications on completion of each learning pathway, while gamification features such as leaderboards and LinkedIn badges are intended to encourage engagement. University students are also offered complimentary access.
The Excellence Hub also incorporates AI-enabled learning to provide personalised feedback and performance analytics, while its mobile-first design enables users to access training globally.
Stanislas Brun, chief cargo officer at Etihad Airways, said: “As the first logistics training academy established by an airline, it represents a significant step forward in how we approach knowledge, capability, and service quality across our global network.
“By bringing together operational expertise, industry knowledge, and accredited learning pathways in one platform, the Excellence Hub will help raise capability standards across the global air cargo ecosystem.”
Dr Nadia Al Bastaki, chief people and corporate affairs officer at Etihad Airways, said: “Etihad is committed to investing in people, and the Etihad Cargo Excellence Hub is a testament to this commitment. By providing accessible learning opportunities and a platform for knowledge sharing, Etihad Cargo aims to enhance the capabilities of those entering and advancing within the air cargo industry.
“The Excellence Hub will facilitate professional development and enhance operational excellence, customer service, and efficiency.”
