Ground handler dnata has been re-awarded its license to provide services - including cargo handling - at Zurich Airport.
The handler said that it currently serves 40 passenger and cargo airlines at the airport, handling over 35 aircraft turnarounds and 150 tonnes of cargo every day.
The company added that it recently announced it would boost its cargo handling capacity at Zurich by over 50% as it plans to operate a new 9,500 sq m warehouse facility as the sole occupant.
The facility is already under construction and expected to open in early 2027.
Willy Ruf, dnata Switzerland’s managing director, said: “The renewal of our license is a clear vote of confidence in our team, highlighting our reliability and commitment to service excellence. We will continue to invest in our people, infrastructure and equipment to deliver best-in-class services to our customers.”
As well as investing in a new cargo facility at the airport, dnata recently rolled out its digital cargo management system, One Cargo, which automates key business and operational functions, including safety and quality monitoring, reporting and ULD management, with an integrated, cloud-based platform.
The company has also invested in ground support equipment (GSE), increasing the share of electric vehicles in its fleet to 42%.
Yesterday, Swissport also announced that its ground handling license had been extended by Zurich Airport.
