Dnata lands American Airlines contract in Switzerland

Dubai: Dnata, the Emirates Group airport and travel services subsidiary, said on Wednesday it has won the contract to handle all of American Airlines’ flights at Zurich International Airport in Switzerland.

The contract will start ground-handling operations for American Airlines at the European airport from February 17, 2015.
