Dnata

Dnata is the largest supplier of air travel services in the Middle East, with services also located internationally. Dnata is made up of three foundational divisions, Travel Services, Cargo and Ground Handling. Within these divisions are many specialist brands and business systems, including online booking and cargo websites. Dnata’s ground handling division operates at 20 airports in nine countries worldwide.
 
Dnata’s international operations now handle as many aircraft turns and as much cargo volume as Dnata's ground handling division in Dubai. This is a significant milestone since their first foray overseas into Pakistan in 1993, which saw the establishment of Gerry’s Dnata in Pakistan. This was followed by Dnata Inc. in the Philippines in 1998 and later in 2004 with Singapore-based ground handling company; CIAS. In 2007, Dnata acquired Jet Aviation, which has since been re-named Dnata Switzerland, and successfully formed joint ventures in Australia, (Toll Dnata Airport Services), and China, (Xian Airport). In Jan-2010, Dnata completed one of the most significant transactions in the industry since the global financial crisis with the acquisition of Plane Handling that saw it enter the UK market at Manchester Airport and London Heathrow. In Mar-2010, Dnata followed up the UK entry by commencing ground handling services at Erbil International Airport in Iraq.
