The main subsidiaries of the Emirates Group are Emirates and DNATA. DNATA was formed in 1959 by the then Government of Dubai. It consisted of two employees whose primary responsibility was to provide ground services to airlines at the new Dubai International Airport (DNATA, 2014). The airport was officially opened in 1960 and incorporated the open skies policy (The Emirates Group, 2014). The Open Skies Policy was an agreement that allowed airlines to eliminate government interference in the routing, capacity, and pricing decisions of commercial airlines (Department of State, 2001). DNATA expanded its airline ticketing offices in the 1970s and created the new specialized cargo division.

The company is known worldwide and is currently going above and beyond in 38 countries (DNATA, 2014) to meet customer expectations.
