Throughout 2024, the demand for Emirates SkyCargo’s specialist product portfolio, extensive global network and all widebody fleet continued to grow exponentially, with no signs of slowing down.
To meet the burgeoning global demand, the airline has wet-leased two additional Boeing 747 freighters, starting 2025 with a 15% increase in critical main deck cargo capacity, compared to January 2024.
Badr Abbas, divisional senior vice president, Emirates SkyCargo said: “Throughout 2024, we made significant investments in new and leased freighter aircraft to address the evolving supply chain and air cargo demands around the world to ensure we had a stable supply of capacity to best serve our global customers.
“This remains a key priority for Emirates SkyCargo, as we set our sights on the next era of growth.
“We anticipate that demand will continue to boom, reflecting Dubai’s prominence as a global logistics hub.
“Enhancing our cargo capabilities is essential to support Dubai’s Economic Agenda, enabling us to reach new destinations, bolster our current operations and elevate our specialist product portfolio.”
