dnata is marking the next phase of its growth in Italy by offering permanent employment to 300 colleagues across its airport operations in Rome and Milan.

Effective this month, the move covers 150 employees at Rome Fiumicino (FCO) and a further 150 across Milan Malpensa (MXP) and Milan Linate (LIN) airports. It forms part of dnata Italy’s long-term workforce strategy, supporting greater employment stability, skills development and operational resilience across three of the country’s major aviation hubs.

The milestone comes as dnata continues to enhance one of its largest airport services operations in Europe. In recent years, the company has expanded its presence in Italy through its entry into FCO, the full integration of its Italian ground handling business under the dnata brand, and continued investment in advanced infrastructure and fleet.

Across the three airports, dnata now employs approximately 5,000 people and serves more than 60 airline customers. Its teams handle more than 150,000 flights, 46 million passengers and almost 18 million bags each year, providing passenger, ramp, baggage and cargo ramp services.

Alberto Morosi, CEO of dnata Italy, said: “Italy is a major part of dnata’s global airport operations, and our people are at the heart of our success. By converting 300 roles into permanent positions, we are giving more of our colleagues greater stability while strengthening the teams that support our airline customers across Rome and Milan.

“This milestone reflects the progress we have made in Italy and the confidence we have in the future of the market. Following the integration of our Italian ground handling business under the dnata brand, we are now focused on the next phase of growth: investing in our people, enhancing our operational capability and continuing to deliver safe, reliable and high-quality services for our customers.”
