The National out of Abu Dhabi is reporting that Emirates Group's cargo handling division has picked up a controlling interest in Airport Handling, and an option to buy another 40 percent of the company, as part of danta's European expansion.
Dnata has already acquired Belgian company Aviapartner, a cargo handler at Schiphol airport in Amsterdam for an undisclosed sum in July, as well as Gold Medal Services, a division of Thomas Cook, for 45 million GBP last year.
Dnata is expected to retain all 1,800 Airport Handling employees.
