dnata Group’s Airport Handling has secured a seven-year ground handling licence for Rome’s Fiumicino Airport, with a commitment to invest over €20 million in upgrading infrastructure and equipment at the hub. A key highlight of the initiative is the plan to deploy a predominantly electric-powered GSE (Ground Support Equipment) fleet, aligning with sustainable aviation goals.
Alberto Morosi, CEO of Airport Handling, expressed pride in bringing the company’s quality and safe services to Italy’s largest airport, noting that the expansion will nearly double its operations in the country. “I’d like to thank our team—including our highly trained new colleagues—and partners for their support in making this launch seamless,” he said. “Together, we look forward to enhancing passenger and ground handling services at this major global aviation hub.”
Clive Sauvé-Hopkins, CEO of Airport Operations at dnata, emphasized the strategic significance of the expansion: “Airport Handling’s entry into Rome marks an important step in our ongoing growth journey. This substantial investment underscores dnata’s commitment to continuously improving operations for the benefit of our customers and stakeholders. I deeply appreciate the Airport Handling team’s hard work and dedication in reaching this milestone.”
Founded in 2013, Airport Handling already provides ramp and passenger services to more than 60 airlines at Milan’s Malpensa and Linate airports. With the addition of Rome Fiumicino, the company is set to handle 150,000 flights annually across Italy, significantly expanding its footprint in the country’s aviation sector.
