Emirates SkyCargo adds a weekly freighter flight to “Down Under” to its schedule
Emirates SkyCargo, the freight division of Emirates, is strengthening the service of the destination Australia by launching an additional dedicated weekly freighter service from Sydney. A dedicated Boeing 777 freighter is now flying twice a week on the Dubai-Singapore-Sydney-Hong Kong-Dubai route. Via the Dubai hub more than 120 destinations can be reached in the carrier’s network.
“The demand for a bi-weekly service is a good indication of Australia’s growing importance as a trade partner to major international markets,” said Greg Johnson, Emirates’ Cargo Manager Australia.
