UAE-based Emirates Airline has been selected by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) to launch its Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR) for electronic flight bags (eFB).
The launch is expected to bring the IATA DGR into the cockpit where flight crews make vital pre-flight and in-flight safety decisions.
It will also help Emirates flight deck crews to have efficient and easy access to updated regulatory safety information.
The IATA DGR is designed to help the aviation industry to prepare and document dangerous shipments, as well as help track the latest developments in regulations for the safe transport of air cargo.
IATA airport, passenger, cargo and security senior vice-president Nick Careen said: “For almost 60 years, IATA’s DGR has been helping the industry safely transport air cargo.
“The DGR for eFB places the most comprehensive resource on the carriage of dangerous goods into the cockpit in a format that will assist the flight deck crew in making timely operational safety checks and decisions.”

By GlobalDataThe air cargo industry is currently estimated to safely transport around 50Mt of cargo with an annual value of $6.4tn.
All the cargo shipments ranging from dry ice and lithium batteries to the most complex of articles or substances are mandated to comply with stringent global standards.
IATA has worked with the governments and International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) to prepare the DGR, which is available in customised formats to cater to different areas of the supply chain.
