Dubai, UAE – dnata has started the construction of a 20,000 sqm cargo warehouse, which will expand its operations at Erbil International Airport (EBL).

“We are delighted to expand our operations in response to the growing demand for our reliable and safe cargo services in Erbil,” said Jaffar.

dnata’s newest cargo facility will be capable of processing 100,000 tonnes of cargo annually, including perishables, pharmaceuticals and dangerous goods.
