The e-learning course will also cover other on-board criminality such as drug smuggling and theft.

?Human trafficking is a global problem that affects hundreds of thousands of people worldwide,? said Dr Abdullah Al Hashimi, Divisional Senior Vice President, Emirates Group Security.

?We have developed this new training module with the aim of helping our staff become more aware and observant of the behaviour of potential crime offenders and possible victims of human trafficking.

?By collaborating with the UK government, we have been able to build in more practical insights and information into this new module which reinforces the existing training that we have been imparting to our staff.?
