Acceptance, and Cargo. His extensive knowledge and practical experience have earned him recognition as an IATA Accredited Trainer particularly in the domain of Dangerous Goods.
One of Thomas’s notable achievements is the independent design of a color-coded, user-friendly Load Plan and Load Sheet for the Airbus 310 Freighter at Emirates, which was adopted as the official operational document of Emirates. He also played a pivotal role in redesigning the training methodology for the A380, addressing the complexities of its CG Centered Fuelling system. His innovative approach ensured a seamless transition for Load Controllers, enabling them to operate efficiently within this new framework.

This program was the first to be chosen for E-Learning, and it now serves as the gateway to subsequent Ground Operations courses. His contributions also extend to enhancing operational procedures, such as suggesting a new formula for the Non-Standard Fuelling of the A310 Freighter, which was integrated into official training and operational documents.
