AUSTRALASIA'S AIRLINE CATERER OF THE YEAR 2025
This is a hands-on role that helps keep the Australian aviation industry moving.
So, what does a day in the life of a Customer Delivery Driver look like?
As a member of our airside team, you are the face of dnata catering & retail out on the tarmac and are responsible for the very important task of correctly loading catering onto the aircraft. To do this, you need to load fully stocked aircraft trolleys onto our hi-lift trucks and drive a short distance to the aircraft. Once airside, you will guide the vehicle for safe approach, load the carts onto the aircraft, and work with the airline cabin crew to make sure everything is correct. You will also remove any empty carts, before heading back to our catering facility.
