dnata, the global air and travel services provider, has completed the integration of its Italian ground handling business into its global organisation, with all operations now conducted under the dnata brand.
This milestone follows dnata’s full acquisition of its Italian ground services subsidiary, previously operating as Airport Handling, after progressively increasing its shareholding in recent years.
The integration builds on a series of developments that underline dnata’s long-term commitment to the Italian aviation market. In 2025, Airport Handling launched operations at Rome Fiumicino Airport (FCO), extending dnata’s ground handling footprint beyond Milan Malpensa (MXP) and Linate (LIN), and nearly doubling its presence in Italy.
More recently, dnata announced a €25 million (US$28.75 million) investment to expand cargo capacity in Milan through the development of a new advanced facility at Malpensa Airport. The project will create additional capacity for customers and support growth across Italy’s logistics ecosystem.
