DP World secures five-year logistics contract in Brazil

DP World widens Brazil logistics footprint: DP World secured a five-year contract to manage a 5k sqm warehouse and production line supply operation for Suzano, a global pulp and paper producer, according to a press release published last week. Located in Espirito Santo, the facility supports Suzano’s consumer tissue division with an inbound capacity of 152 tons per day, with operations ranging from inventory management to product distribution.

IN CONTEXT- DP World’s terminal in Brazil’s Port of Santos handled a record 1.3 mn TEUs in 2025, with the company investing USD 306 mn to expand capacity to 1.7 mn TEUs by the end of 2026. The agreement builds upon DP World’s existing partnership with Suzano and is part of a broader plan to deepen its contract logistics footprint in Brazil, which totals 100k sqm of capacity.

Flydubai posts solid 2025 results

A good year for Flydubai: Low-cost carrier Flydubai saw a 14% y-o-y rise in its net income to AED 1.9 bn in FY 2025, while its total revenue rose 6% y-o-y to AED 13.6 bn during the same period, according to press release published last week.

On the operations front, Flydubai added 12 Boeing 737 aircraft to its fleet and expanded to nine new destinations. The firm’s overall network capacity also recorded a 6% boost — operating 126k flights and carrying 15.7 mn passengers. The airline also locked in its retrofit program, retrofitting eight next-generation Boeing 737-8 jets in 2025.

What’s next? The carrier expects to take delivery of 12 jets in 2026, expecting that “demand for travel remains healthy despite ongoing challenges,” CEO Ghaith Al Ghaith said.

REMEMBER– A capacity surge is coming soon. The airline made a massive 150 AirbusA321neos order late last year at the Paris Airshow. Flydubai also placed an order with US manufacturer Boeing for 75 jets of the narrow-body 737 Max model in November.
