dnata GSE fleet to grow with 800 new units in 2025

dnata will deploy 800 new GSE units across its global network worth $110 million this year.

The new equipment will be delivered under long-term global framework contracts signed with leading manufacturers in 2024.

The agreements, worth $210 million, secure a steady supply of advanced, lower-emission equipment to support growth and sustainability targets.

They will be introduced across 10 countries with the largest volumes going to the UAE, Brazil, Italy, USA and Singapore.

Clive Sauvé-Hopkins, CEO Airport Operations at dnata said: “Our continued significant investment in our modern fleet reflects both the scale of our expansion and our ambition to lead the industry in operational excellence and sustainability. We are accelerating the adoption of zero-, and low-emission technology wherever the infrastructure supports it - and where it is still developing, we proactively work with our partners to implement the most practical and forward-looking solutions.”

dnata’s global fleet strategy focuses on phasing out diesel engines and transitioning to electric, hybrid or hydrogen-powered alternatives.

More than 40% of dnata’s fleet is electric in key markets including Italy, Switzerland, the Netherlands and the UK.

dnata is engaging with biofuel suppliers to reduce emissions and has transitioned its non-electric fleet in Dubai to biodiesel.

Many of dnata’s new pieces of GSE are on display at the Airport Show, which is taking place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 6-8 May.
