The National Association of Freight & Logistics (NAFL) in Dubai is one great organization that is constantly trying to lead by example.
     Here we learn what can be done by sponsoring new companies with port visits, familiarization activities, and advancing education and training that brings out the best in the shipping community.
     “If someone wants to form a company in UAE we can help them,” President Nadia Abdul Aziz assures.
     “A lot of companies offer to help, but end up saying ‘pay me, pay me’ to establish a business.
     “NAFL will not ask for money. Not only that, we can show how to set up a company to do business in UAE, and often get it done in a few hours,” Nadia said.

About NAFL

     “This association has been serving the needs of its members since it was incorporated 24 years ago.
     “We aim at delivering excellence through education and training.
     “NAFL certificate programs are available on many platforms.
     “Our JVs with global universities for e-learning courses is an excellent option.
     “There are e-learning courses in our portfolio from Harvard University, Princeton, Berkeley, and MIT for both International Transportation & Trade and Essentials of Freight Forwarding.”


FIATA Partners

     Nadia Abdul Aziz is the first Emirati woman to be nominated as Vice-President of the Global Extended Board of the International Association of Freight Forwarders (FIATA), which represents more than 44,000 forwarding and logistics firms in 150 countries.

Education Job One

     “NAFL also partners with FIATA for an exchange program on our e-portal.
     “Our main focus for 2018 and beyond is to enhance standards with high-quality, hands-on training and on-the-job experience.
     “In UAE we sponsor students to take freight courses at our association as part of our CSR activities and also to attract more talent in the industry.”

Reason To Continue

     “I joined NAFL and today serve as President to bring innovation and advanced usage of technology to the industry, as well as to change the way business is being handled, to steer the industry toward a more ethical and sustainable atmosphere,” Nadia said.
     “I am committed to further strengthening the UAE’s position as a global logistics hub, raising industry standards through our professional FIATA training courses and e-platforms, and I will always work on opening doors of opportunities to our respected members as well as our country.”
NAFL is exhibiting at Logitrans Istanbul from November 14-16 2018.
     “Hope to see you there,” Nadia declared.
