Emirates Group Security is a multi-faceted organisation that develops and implements security strategies and measures across the Emirates network. Since its beginning in 1992, EGS has grown significantly in the scope of services it provides. The organisation now offers a wide spectrum of security services, both general and aviation-specific, and employs more than 470 staff directly and over 2600 security staff through its service partner Transguard Group (TGG). EGS extends its services beyond Emirates to other airlines that operate in and out of Dubai International Airport on a commercial basis.
