Dnata Cargo ready for operations at Dubai World Central

The new airport, at the heart of Dubai World Central, will one day be the world’s largest passenger and cargo hub, ultimately capable of handling over 12 million tons of cargo a year. Dnata Cargo, which is already the ground handler for over 120 airlines at Dubai International Airport, will provide the ground handling services to all airlines at DWC. The company has made significant investment in equipment in recent months and is now fully equipped to handle any type of freighter aircraft at the new location.

In this first phase, the cargo facility, which will be known as Dnata FreightGate 8, will have a throughput of 250,000 tons per annum. Dnata Cargo’s team has the facilities and capability to handle any type of cargo - even perishable goods - as there is a 1,000 cubic metre capacity of chiller and freezer storage. No fewer than 33 truck docks will accommodate trailers up to 40 feet long. Rollerbed and air suspension equipped trucks, capable of accommodating up to full three metre height 10ft ULDs, will ensure a swift connection with airports across UAE and GCC.
