For the third year in a row, dnata was named Ground Handler of the Year by Air Cargo News

DUBAI, U.A.E., 25th April 2016: This worldwide award recognises dnata’s contribution to the international cargo industry and is especially valuable to us as the votes leading to our win represent the voices of our industry colleagues. 

After adding eight new cargo facilities in 2014 in the UK, dnata continued its European focus in 2015. In September, dnata expanded to the Netherlands with the acquisition of Aviapartner’s cargo division. This addition includes 44,000 m2 cargo warehouse space handling 360,000 tonnes of cargo annually along with an official E.U. certified border inspection facility to handle animals, a 1,200 m2 temperature controlled Pharma and Perishables facility and a dedicated e-commerce and mail handling centre. 

Over the past two years, dnata has more than doubled its footprint in Europe from four to 10 stations and now handles 2.3 million tonnes of cargo globally. 

The award was collected on behalf of the One dnata team by Gary Chapman, President dnata, at a ceremony in London.

We would like to thank all of those who voted for us. This type of industry recognition shows we’re on the right track to fulfil our vision of being the world’s most admired air services provider.
