Dubai: Dnata Cargo is to rebrand its terminal operation in 2007 to FreightGate a fresh generic identity for its growing portfolio of cargo terminals at Dubai International Airport and elsewhere, the company said in a statement.
The FreightGate name will number Dnata Cargo's seven terminals, beginning with FreightGate 1, currently the Main Cargo Terminal at Dubai Airport; through to FreightGate 7 at the upcoming Dubai World Central International Airport, scheduled to open mid-2008.
The other Dnata Cargo terminals are: FreightGate 2, the Express Handling Centre at Dubai Cargo Village; FreightGate 3, Economy Cargo Terminal at the Freezone Logistics Centre (FLC); FreightGate 4, Agents' Terminal at FLC; FreightGate 5, Premium Cargo Terminal at FLC; and FreightGate 6, the Offline Terminal at Jebel Ali Freezone.
Kevin Ennis, vice-president Cargo Business Development Dnata Cargo, said: "The FreightGate name provides a consistent corporate identity across our portfolio of terminals, which each address the different needs of various customer communities."
The FreightGate roll-out comes as Dnata Cargo gears up for the January opening of the FLC third phase (FreightGate 5) which will triple annual throughput capacity to 500,000 tonnes and offer streamlined import-export services, combined with the innovative soon to be launched CALOGI (Cargo Logistics International) e-commerce web portal.
CALOGI will create a "virtual" business environment for a wide variety of cargo industry players, enabling them to complete all their transactions in cyberspace without leaving the comfort of their office, or even their home.
Dnata Cargo provides services to more than 100 airlines operating through Dubai International Airport.
