Dnata has extended its partnership with Egyptair by providing cargo handling services for freighter flights to Dubai World Central (DWC).

Egyptair will initially operate one cargo flight a week between Dubai and Cairo using an Airbus A300 Freighter.

Dnata has been providing Egyptair with ground handling services at Dubai International Airport since 2005, and says the expansion underlines the attraction of Dubai as an air cargo hub.

Dnata senior vice president – UAE cargo and DWC airline services, Bernd Struck says: “Delivering service and operational excellence to our customers has been the core of our business for decades. DWC is designed to support logistics well into the future and we are excited to welcome Egyptair to be part of this journey with us.”
