dnata opens new cargo facility at London Heathrow airport

dnata has inaugurated a new, state-of-the-art cargo centre at London Heathrow airport (LHR). Part of the company’s ‘dnata City East’ complex, the bespoke facility further increases dnata’s capacity at LHR, ensuring continued smooth handling of a broad range of goods amid rapidly increasing demand for reliable and safe air cargo services in the UK. The ground services provider’s expansion makes dnata City East comfortably the largest off-site cargo handling operation at the UK’s largest commercial aviation hub. The new, 10,500 sq mt facility (‘Phase II’) was designed to operate in conjunction with dnata City East’s existing 22,500 sq mt facility (‘Phase I’) which opened in September 2019.
