DALLAS — Dnata has inked a deal with IT solutions provider IBS Software to implement its iCargo terminal operation suite across the Dubai-based ground handler’s stations around the world, dnata announced at the IATA World Cargo Symposium here.

Dnata says that it is the first ground handler to launch a global roll-out of iCargo and to have all its operations migrated to one platform.

The ground handler said that the software will be implemented across its system of more than 5,000 staff members across 27 stations in 10 countries by 2020.
