Gerry’s dnata, the leading ground services provider in Pakistan, has been awarded for the ‘Best Cargo Handling Operation’ at the 2019 Pride of Ground Handling Awards. The prestigious award was accepted by Syed Haris Raza, Vice President of Gerry’s dnata, at a gala dinner during the 21st Ground Handling International Annual Conference in Amsterdam.
Syed Haris Raza said:
“We are extremely honoured to be recognized for the best air cargo handling operations. This achievement is a testimony to the wonderful team in Pakistan who have diligently worked towards establishing this state-of-the-art cargo facility.
“I thank all Gerry’s dnata employees for their relentless commitment to innovation and service excellence. This facility is a stepping stone towards a greater vision to become a best-in-class airport ground handler, and we will continue to invest in our staff, infrastructure and equipment.”
Gerry’s dnata has recently opened a new, state-of-the-art import cargo centre at Jinnah International Airport (KHI) in Karachi. The 72,000 square foot facility is equipped with the latest technologies, including an Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) and a Material Handling System (MHS), ensuring safe and efficient handling and storage of all types of cargo. To achieve the highest possible operational efficiency, Gerry’s dnata applies automated and semi-automated equipment in its new centre.
This year Gerry’s dnata also marked an important milestone in its ongoing commitment to safety and security.
