The Dubai National Air Travel Agency (DNATA) was set up in 1959 to help provide personnel and systems for reservations, departure control and IT in order to give Emirates a boost. It is known by the maternal nickname, ‘mother of Emirates Airline”. Over the years the company became such an accomplished and diversified provider of airport and travel services that it became known as ‘the airline without aircraft’.

Profits increased 66 percent to Dh507 million - very desirable returns during the worst economic downturn in 70 years.
