The award recognized Kuwait Mosafer, an online platform developed by NAS for the Kuwait Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to ensure safe travels to and from the Kuwait International Airport during the Covid-19 Pandemic. The GHI Pride of Ground Handling Awards is a prestigious award that showcases service excellence, innovation and the people that make it happen.
