Emirates Group airport unit to review Australian operations

An airport services subsidiary of Dubai’s Emirates Group said on Wednesday it would review its operations in Australia after being left out of a government scheme there to save jobs. The dnata business includes ground handling and catering services and retail and hospitality. Australia in March announced a A$130b ‘job keeper’ package to project jobs from the coronavirus crisis that has sent shockwaves through the economy. However, companies owned by foreign governments have been excluded from the scheme that provides funds to businesses to pay workers. Emirates Group, which also counts the Emirates airline among its assets, is owned by Dubai’s state fund.<br/>
