Air and travel services provider dnata will transition all of its non-electric airside vehicles and ground support equipment to biodiesel blend at its largest operational hub in Dubai.
The company partnered with Dubai Airports and Emirates National Oil Company (ENOC) to make the move. It estimates around 3,500 tonnes of CO2 to be cut annually.
""Our latest initiative to switch all our non-electric airside vehicles to biodiesel in Dubai is a big step forward in our decarbonisation journey,"" said dnata Group CEO Steve Allen. ""It demonstrates our dedication to cutting emissions, a core part of our environmental strategy, while maintaining the highest level of quality and safety across our operations.""
dnata is already using a blend of biodiesel across its landside fleets at dnata logistics, City Sightseeing Tours, Arabian Adventures, and Alpha Flight Services in the UAE since last summer.
