Dnata

Dubai National Air Travel Agency (Arabic: دناتا) (commonly known as dnata) is an Emirati airport services provider which provides aircraft ground handling, cargo, travel, and flight catering services across five continents.

The company dnata was established 1959 in Dubai with five employees. The name originates as an acronym for Dubai National Air Travel Agency. The company has grown significantly with the first international expansion seen in 1993.

In 2008, the company acquired a 23 percent share in the travel company Hogg Robinson Group (HRG) and a 49 percent share of the global outsource provider Mind Pearl.

In 2010, dnata acquired Alpha Flight Limited, expanding the company to cover 62 airports in 12 countries. The next year, the company opened offices in India, offering air travel, hotel, and visa services for travellers between India and Dubai.

In 2015, dnata acquired RM Ground Services in Brazil. The acquisition allowed dnata to provide international airports with outsourced aircraft ground handling, cargo transport, and airline meal catering.

In February 2018, dnata co-founded the Airline Catering Association, which is based in Brussels, Belgium.

In 2019, a dnata employee and others were arrested while they were taking drugs off a plane at Sydney Airport. AFP and Border Force officers swooped and arrested them.

In 2021, six dnata baggage handlers and other people were arrested after they planned to bring drugs into Sydney Airport.
