Emirates Leisure Retail will partner
with MMI as master concessionaire for all food and beverage, duty free and
commercial outlets at T3.
Its expansion into Zanzibar
represents an investment of over $7m and will reportedly create up to 400
direct local jobs with the company.
Dnata will provide its ground and
passenger handling services to airline customers at ZNZ, and expects to handle
more than 4,000 flights annually at the airport.
It will also invest in a cargo centre
to establish cargo operations at the airport, supporting local trade and
businesses. The facility will handle a broad range of cargo, including
perishables, pharmaceuticals, dangerous goods, live animals, aircraft engines
and vehicles.
In addition, dnata will launch
meet-and-greet and lounge services through its airport hospitality brand,
Marhaba.
Including this latest investment
which is dnata’s first operation in Tanzania, dnata now provides ground
handling, cargo, catering and travel services in 36 countries.
“We are thrilled to expand our global
footprint into Africa and establish operations at the airport of Zanzibar. We
are confident that our investment in the local aviation industry will stimulate
tourism and trade, delivering significant benefits for Zanzibar businesses and
the local community,” said Steve Allen, executive vice president of dnata and
chairman of Emirates Leisure Retail and MMI.
Christian Laugier, CEO of sales for
Egis, added, “Our teams will focus on performance across all areas, including
infrastructure, operations, safety and security, governance and finance. Our
efforts will be on making the airport and air transport more effective
catalysts for tourism growth in a destination that has everything to attract
visitors, from pristine beaches to a UNESCO World Heritage site.”
