50 years fly by for working mum

The “mother of Emirates Airline” has just turned 50.

DNATA, or the Dubai National Air Travel Agency, was set up in 1959 and 26 years later helped provide the personnel and systems for reservations, departure control and IT to give Emirates an extra boost, and earn its maternal nickname.

Over those years, the company grew into such a diversified provider of airport and travel services that when Gary Chapman, the president of DNATA and of Emirates Group Services, started in 1989, DNATA was also called “the airline without aircraft”.
