Dnata forays into Indian corporate travel sector

New Delhi: Service provider aims to be among top 3 companies in the segment Dubai-based Dnata, a global air service provider has forayed into India. The company proposes to tap booming corporate travel space that is estimated to be around $20 billion.
Dnata has tied up with the UK-based Hogg Robinson Group (HRG) that has been in India for over five years. HNG that was hitherto in a tie up with Sita travels has severed its links with the latter.
“India is an important strategic market for us. Corporate travel market is very fragmented. We are hoping to get big chunk of this market. Our aim is to be among the top three travel companies in India in next five years,” said Gary Chapman, president, Dnata.
However, Dnata does not intend to get into other segments such as ground handling, cargo handling and in-flight catering in India. “For us, to get into a segment, we should be able to offer quality services that we are known for and also it should be profitable. We will evaluate opportunities in future. But at this point we will focus only on corporate travel,” said Chapman.
