dnata, a global air and travel services provider, has announced plans to introduce 800 new ground support equipment units in 2025. This initiative is part of a US$ 110 million investment aimed at enhancing operational performance and reducing emissions across its network.

The equipment will be delivered under long-term contracts signed with manufacturers in 2024. These agreements, valued at US$ 210 million, ensure a steady supply of advanced, lower-emission machinery to meet dnata’s growth and sustainability objectives.

The rollout will cover ten countries, with the largest allocations in the UAE, Brazil, Italy, USA, and Singapore. Clive Sauvé-Hopkins, CEO of dnata Airport Operations stated: “Our continued significant investment in our modern fleet reflects both the scale of our expansion and our ambition to lead the industry in operational excellence and sustainability."

dnata's strategy includes transitioning from diesel engines to electric, hybrid, or hydrogen-powered alternatives based on local infrastructure capabilities. Currently, over 40% of dnata’s fleet is electric in key markets such as Italy and the UK.

In addition to adopting low-emission technology, dnata collaborates with biofuel suppliers to reduce emissions further. Recently it transitioned its non-electric fleet to biodiesel in Dubai for significant carbon reductions.

Operational efficiency remains a priority for dnata. The company uses Vehicle Tracking Management systems to monitor fuel consumption and conducts logistics mapping exercises for optimal operations.

Many of these new equipment units will be showcased at dnata’s stand during the Airport Show at the Dubai World Trade Centre from May 6-8.
