Emirates SkyCargo launches four Freighter Routes Emirates SkyCargo's Boeing 747-400 freighters now fly to Amman, Jordan every Monday at 0500, to service escalating demand overflowing the belly capacity of its passenger aircraft that operates daily to the capital city. In the past two months, the same compelling reason has seen SkyCargo launch freighter operations to Chennai, India and add on two new cargo-only routes - Bangalore in India and Taipei in Taiwan - to the Emirates network. SkyCargo's B747-200 freighter now flies to Dubai-Taipei-Bangalore-Dubaideparting Dubai every Thursday at 0435 and Dubai-Madras-Singapore-Colombo-Dubai departing Dubai on Saturdays at 1305.Dedicated freighter operations provide customers tremendous operational flexibility - tailor-made products and services to suit their needs and timely onward connections. Freighter schedules have been carefully worked out so that cargo agents worldwide can take advantage of Emirates' fast onward connections across its network that now spans 66 destinations in 46 countries, SkyCargo's interline agreements and road feeder services. Ram Menen, Director Cargo, Emirates Airline said: "Our freighters have been an important factor in our success as they service important cargo hubs and cargo-only destinations on our network, such as Amsterdam, Liege, Bangalore, Shanghai and Taipei. Freighters not only provide additional cargo capacity but also enable us to carry specialised and time-sensitive cargo. We regularly fly freight from the most delicate and exotic - such as flowers and plants, to oilfield equipment, aircraft engines, racehorses, even a fleet of Ferraris" The B747-400 freighters have nose and side-loading capability, important for quick and efficient loading. |
