Our founding alliance
Our Partnership with FIATA
The National Association of Freight and Logistics (NAFL) is proud to serve as the official United Arab Emirates chapter and Association Member of the International Federation of Freight Forwarders Associations (FIATA). Recognized as the “global voice of freight logistics” representing the industry across some 150 territories, Geneva-based FIATA relies on national bodies like NAFL to implement international standards and advocate for regional logistics markets. This powerful partnership—further strengthened by NAFL’s leadership holding key positions as Senior Vice President on FIATA’s global board and Dubai’s role in hosting major FIATA-RAME (Region Africa and Middle East) field meetings—ensures that the UAE is directly connected to the pulse of global trade. By operating as FIATA’s dedicated UAE representative, NAFL empowers local businesses with exclusive access to internationally trusted and secure trade documentation (such as the digital FIATA Bill of Lading, or eFBL), world-class FIATA-certified training programs, and a decisive voice in shaping the future of global supply chain resilience.
