Dnata Begins Talks To Enter Angola

Dnata, an Emirates Group subsidiary, “recently kicked-off” talks with Angolan authorities to launch airport ground handling and catering services in the African country, said President Gary Chapman in an interview on Tuesday.

The talks are part of ten-year management contract of Angola’s national airline signed by Emirates airline with the Angolan government in September.

“We are looking to see how we can work with the authorities there on ground handling and catering so that would be ramp, passenger, [and] cargo [services], and potentially in-flight catering,” Chapman said.

The discussions between Angolan authorities and dnata are still “early days,” according to Chapman, who said the African country is “an opportunity.”
