dnata has received its first Cargo iQ certification as the Dubai-based ground handling specialist commits to continuous reporting and high quality handling across its network.
“dnata integrated the Cargo iQ principles into its existing quality management framework with the aim of reporting three quarters of shipments globally,” says an official release from Cargo iQ.
dnata’s digitisation initiative onecargo has enabled ground handling data to be collected from all global stations within one system, the release added. “Key stations like Dubai, London, Amsterdam and Singapore are already using data collection to feed into the
quality monitoring framework.”
Marie Seco-Köppen, Executive Director, Cargo iQ says: “dnata’s commitment to its quality journey reflected in both the certification roadmap meetings with the Cargo iQ team as well as its determination in driving the project for harmonising their ground handling data globally.
“Further to their own quality roadmap, Lawrence Cockburn and Kevin Walsh brought expert contributions to the latest master operating plan (MOP) upgrade and in so voicing the needs of the ground handling community.”
Guillaume Crozier, Senior Vice President – UAE Cargo & Global Cargo Strategy, dnata adds: “Achieving excellence in air cargo requires not only compliance and rigorous data management but also a commitment to community performance, supply chain visibility and safeguarding product integrity at every step. dnata supports the Cargo iQ framework and will continue to invest in technology and innovation, aiding real time capability to support our customers, and delivering on our promises.”
dnata handled 1.5 million tonnes cargo in H1FY2025, up by 18 percent due to the buoyant demand for air cargo services globally.
Revenue increased 11 percent to $2.8 billion while profit after tax declined 19 percent to $156 million.
