Airport Handling, a subsidiary of dnata, has commenced operations at Rome Fiumicino Airport (FCO). The company will manage nearly 70,000 flights annually for 22 airlines with a team of over 2,100 aviation professionals in Rome.

The expansion into Rome aims to position the company as Italy’s leading ground services provider, managing 150,000 flights annually across its operations.
