Dnata handles record cargo at DWC
Dnata cargo operations at its terminal at Dubai World Central-Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) have reached record volumes as growth and expansion continue, said a press statement on Wednesday.After increasing steadily for some months, during the month of October cargo volumes rose by a record 59 per cent with aircraft movements at DWC also registering a growth of 33 per cent to 280 movements in October against the previous month's frequency.
The Dnata -operated air cargo terminal - known as FreightGate-8 - which handles local and sea-air export and import cargo as well as transit cargo at DWC, handled 11,737 tonnes of cargo in October, the largest volume handled in any month since operations began when the airport opened in June 2010. This achievement puts activity levels at the relatively new FreightGate-8 on par with other more established dnata cargo terminals at Dubai International Airport in terms of monthly cargo tonnage handled.
"The continuous increase in activity we have witnessed at DWC is a direct result of dnata's collaborative efforts with its airline customers, freight forwarding customers, trucking companies and all Government authorities," said Stuart Hayman, Vice President of cargo operations for dnata. "With no shortage of terminal space and available airfield capacity and facilities, dnata looks forward to welcoming more freighter aircraft customers over the coming months and years at DWC."
