Home check-in service in Dubai launched with Middle East carriers
dnata has acquired a majority stake in baggage technology and logistics company DUBZ.
DUBZ was started in 2016 by three entrepreneurs to provide a practical and technology-enabled service to travellers in Dubai–the collection of baggage from their homes or hotels before a flight, and delivery of bags to the home or hotel on arrival in Dubai. The service is available 24 hours a day.
dnata and DUBZ are starting the new home check-in service for passengers flying with UAE carrier flydubai and KSA carriers Saudia and flynas.
“With DUBZ’s innovative idea to create convenience for travellers, we are now able to extend our service beyond the airport to let them check in for their flights from home,” said Steve Allen, Divisional Senior Vice President -UAE Airport Operations, dnata.
“Our goal is to scale up the business while maintaining the agility and service standards we’ve achieved since inception,” said Omar Abou Faraj, CEO and Co-Founder of DUBZ.
