About

General counsel Flavia Scarpellini has been right at the forefront of Airport Handling’s momentous changes and acquisitions, impressing peers with her ability to handle a large workload efficiently and tactfully. She has been praised for her instrumental involvement in antitrust matters on behalf of the airport handling giant, which belongs to the Emirates Group, dnata, (Dubai National Transport Association) and the agreements reached for the purchase of a 30% stake in the capital of Airport Handling. She has assisted the company’s ground services at the Milan airports of Linate and Malpensa, successfully facilitating the majority of the members of the board of directors, an option to purchase an additional 40% stake. This transaction has seen her not only skilfully coordinate her own in-house legal team at Airport Handling, but also the external counsel who collaborated on the deal, including partners specialising on aviation matters, corporate and antitrust aspects. The completion of the acquisition is subject to approval by the relevant authorities.
