Dubai South and dnata, a global air services provider, have entered into a partnership to develop a digitally driven Gate Control mechanism for cargo handling terminals at Dubai South’s Logistics District.
The Gate Control mechanism will enable the seamless flow of goods through the free zone’s gates, with companies based at the Logistics District and movers transporting goods to other ports benefiting significantly, the company said. The collaboration involves integrating Masary, an e-gate pass system by Dubai South, with dnata’s Appointment & Dock management system. The integration will allow customers to enter and exit Dubai South gates under dnata’s designated appointment system for goods movement, providing faster procedures and a seamless, paperless experience.
Mohsen Ahmad, CEO of the Logistics District – Dubai South, said:
“We are dedicated to providing our clients with efficient and intelligent operational solutions, ensuring the uninterrupted flow of goods. This partnership with dnata will enable us to expand our range of services, promote optimal practices and establish a tech-driven, dynamic ecosystem, allowing our clients to flourish in this highly competitive market.”
Dubai South, the largest single-urban master development focusing on aviation, logistics, and real estate. Dnata is one of the world’s largest air services providers offering ground handling, cargo, and travel. Guillaume Crozier, Senior Vice President, UAE cargo, dnata, said:
“We are delighted to offer our partners more value by implementing another innovative solution across our Dubai operations. This joint initiative will further streamline cargo processes by enabling the seamless transmission and integration of our data into Dubai South Smart Gate application and the Dubai Airport Free Zone’s system and as a result, our customers will enjoy even better services and quicker turnaround. We will continue to invest in the latest, digital technologies and automation to provide the best possible services to our customers.”
With this move, companies based at the Logistics District free zone and mainland, as well as movers who transport goods to other ports, will benefit substantially.
