Emirates SkyCargo adds Copenhagen to its network
DUBAI, 2nd January, 2018 (WAM) – Emirates SkyCargo announced the operation of a weekly cargo aircraft dedicated to Copenhagen Airport, starting from January 1, in response to the increasing demand from Denmark, which contributes to increasing the network of destinations served by Emirates cargo aircraft to 36 destinations.
The Boeing 777 freighter will contribute to increasing the capacity provided to Emirates customers, with the allocation of about 85 tons of cargo from Copenhagen and neighboring countries, including Norway and Sweden, after it was previously provided through passenger aircraft capacity.
Emirates SkyCargo recorded significant growth in the volume of shipments from Denmark by more than 20% in the last financial year, driven largely by pharmaceutical shipments. Thanks to its thriving bioscience production industry and flexible cold chain infrastructure, Copenhagen serves as a pharmaceutical logistics hub in Northern Europe.
In addition to enhancing pharmaceutical shipments, Emirates Sky Cargo will provide customized solutions for transporting goods across its multiple product range, such as general cargo and perishable items that are sensitive to temperature.
Demand is strong across Scandinavia, with particular growth in Copenhagen, and she expects this to continue in the next financial year and beyond, said Mette Jensen, Cargo Manager at Emirates SkyCargo in the Scandinavia region.
She pointed out that enhancing operations to Copenhagen with a dedicated cargo aircraft ensures the ability to meet current demand and support customers in reaching a greater number of markets around the world.
Emirates SkyCargo serves 11 destinations across Europe with 37 dedicated cargo flights weekly, in addition to more than 485 passenger flights weekly.
