The two facilities represent a $3.5m investment and the cool chain facility will be able to handle 10,000 tonnes of perishables per annum.
It can handle chilled and frozen products including fruit, meat and pharmaceuticals, and was designed and built with flexibility and unique product handling requirements in mind, taking advantage of the latest cold chain technologies.
The bus maintenance facility maintains the fleet of 8 passenger apron buses and 10 transportation buses in Erbil.
dnata will invest $14m in a 16,000m2 cargo warehouse capable of processing 100,000 tonnes a year, focusing on pharmaceuticals and other cool chain products.
Scheduled to open next year, it will be equipped with the latest technologies including sustainable features such as water harvesting, low energy lighting and an all-electric forklift fleet.
Tom Alwyn-Jones, Managing Director of dnata Erbil said: “Our latest investment in three new facilities will help us further expand and improve our operations in Erbil as demand for reliable and safe cargo services is on the rise across the region. I thank my colleagues for their hard work and our partners for their support and trust in our services. We continue to go the extra mile to consistently deliver superior quality and be the best in everything we do.”
