In April this year, Dnata underwent a global re-brand as part of an effort to unify its international outstations and divisions as one. A brand new company logo, vision, mission and set of values were created to encompass Dnata’s diverse portfolio of businesses and unify its 20,000 employees around the world.

With over 50 years experience in the travel industry the company continues to expand into new territories and partnerships. It was recently awarded the shore excursions contract for Costa Cruises, and its strong focus on building up non-air product offering has paid off with triple digit growth during key holiday periods.

With customer care another priority, Dnata’s customer contact centre was recently developed to become one of the region’s leading contact centres.

The coming year will see a strong focus on eCommerce for Dnata and a target to continue growth rates ahead of the market in all regions, as well as to evaluate further expansion opportunities.
