Another contract lost by Dnata (Qantas going to MNZ)


This seems all well planed to loose all this contract.


So far Dnata have lost: Air India; Jet airways; Etihad; Singapore; Ethiopia; Egypt; Qantas.


Rumours contract will loose: PIA and Virgin Atlantic.


No business can be run with no equipment; Dnata has very bad Equipment and bad Management


Year back everything was fine, making profit but now they just want concentrate C A R G O and get all the staff's with old contract and try to get everyone in PART TIME

I take it you work for Dnata at LHR judging by your name??

Yes but there plan is to get rid of people that are on higher contracts. Get the staff on Dnata contract and start again.

As for Virgin and PIA thats just rumour. There's alot of doom and gloom there at the minute. Alot of people want to leave but wont as they know there is nothing better out there that pays what they get. If you dont like it get out and move on. Tippical English always moaning and not liking the change. I don't think it was good a year ago its still the same staff and equipment...

The equipment is old and bad and so is the management. They have a game plan and i think all will be revealed in the next few weeks on whats going to happened....! Don't think they'll leave the ramp they'll always have EK and there upping the flights to 7 a day soon. Thats the 2 slots from Qantas as there pulling out of LHR soon.

Lets wiat and see whats going to happen in the weeks ahead.

Irish I heard EK were gonna increase their flights this year but is Qantas giving them their slots ? and is Qantas definitely pulling out of LHR?

Any more news on DNATA? Have they lost/gained anything recently?

300 staff to go , across ALL depts , ramp, ops , check in , etc , .....Staff asking about the VS contract , management reply , VS is still our customer Airline !!!

is this confirmed? What have Dnata said officially and does it include TUPE?

Spoke to my colleague at Heathrow and she said there is rumour of a big contract just been signed by DNATA? Anyone down LHR have anymore information?

Most likely to be Qatar

New Contracts?
 

Anymore news/rumours on the big contract about to be signed/already signed!!!

Qatar from Servisair, so I hear.

TAM and ANA

Contracts gains for Dnata confirmed are Qatar, TAM, ANA and US Airways. More to follow ive heard....!

Would US Airways not logically fall into the fold of American Airlines, i.e BA ramp handling in due course ?

And losing Virgin to Cobalt?

does TAM, ANA and US Airways contracts include passenger check in ?

Reply to DNATA TAM US ANA CONTRACTS
 

Well, TAM US AND ANA have their own check-in staff.
Being member of one of those airlines our memo was only describing
ramp handling.

Ive heard a wisper that dnata going for Malaysian Airlines soon!
