“The catering businesses will benefit significantly from dnata’s global footprint, catering expertise, and ability to drive investment and growth for what is a core focus of its operation,” Qantas Domestic CEO Andrew David said.
Dnata supplies catering for Qantas flights in Adelaide, Canberra, London and Johannesburg.
Robin Padgett, Dnata’s divisional senior vice president of catering, added: “This agreement reflects our confidence in Australia as a market and the ongoing growth potential into the future.”
